Hi Mick

Here's what I have on mine.

I'm looking at the back of the multi-way plug, with the locating tang on the left, top to bottom:

Blue/yellow
Blue/red
Black/green
Black
Green
Blue/black

From my various sources, I identify these as:

Blue/yellow should go to ECU 86. The PIP (profile ignition pickup) output from the module
Blue/red should come from ECU 36. The SPOUT (spark output) from the ECU back to the module, signalling for a spark
Black/green (outside the cable shielding) battery power connection
Black (also outside) another power connection
Green to terminal 4 on the coil. The final spark pulse
Blue/black to ECU 16. IGN GND.

I can send a photo, but the colours are not so clear as this description.

As always I should say that mine is an S3C, with some differences in the wiring. However my sources indicate that this part of the loom is the same for MAF or MAP engines.

Good luck

John
