Some Pictures to Help Clarify

These are some pictures I took at the time - they might be helpful.

First is a picture of the new coil plug and pigtail, with the labels from it and the package it came in. It shows the part number that you order, which is different than the stamping number on the plug itself. You don't need the Bushing or Pin, and you don't have to solder anything near the engine.

Second is the new plug with the sheathing stripped back to the point where the two conductors go their separate ways at the wiring harness.

Third is my electrical test, before I wrapped everything up. Blue conductors go to 12 volts, brown to the ECU.

Fourth shows (on the right side of the bundle going into the ECU plug) how I slid heatshrink down as far as I could on the three wires that go to the coil plugs. The actual splice is about 18 inches away (I didn't want to traumatize the wires where they are smooshed together going into the plug).

This was done several months ago - the car runs fine.
