1989 loyale n/a no spark


Recommended Posts

Background story. Bought an 89 loyale years ago with no motor. The ditsy plug was cut. Got a motor from unknown year (ditsy has square plug). Pulled the chassis side plug off a parts 90 loyale turbo. Upon splicing it in, the wire pattern in the plugs do not match up. Both plugs have red,white,green,black wires. Easy fix right?! Just match the wires up from the ditsy side to chassis side when splicing... So i thought. The wires coming from the chassis harness are red,white,black, and black with a stripe. Which i guessed would just be the green wire. But im getting no spark from coil. Im seeing if anyone knows which order the wires should be connected from the red,white,black, black/red; to the ditsy red,white,black,green. Just want to make sure its connected right before i try and start trouble shooting further. Dont want to beat a dead horse ;) if anyone can help that would be great! This thing hasnt seen the road for over 8 years and its begging for a lift!

The 89 is a spfi car. The only thing I took from the turbo car is the chassis side ditsy plug. It was also the clear square one. And disregarded the wire colors on that side of the pigtail. To ensure there was no mix up from turbo model to n/a. My confusion is the actual chassis wires are not the same as the ditsy wires

Ok so I was all mistaken... Chassis has red,white,green,black. So does ditsy plug. I just need to know the correct orrientation of the colors going into the ditsy traced back to the chassis side of the plug. ( basically if there were no plug, what teminal would each wire go to on the ditsy... I can figure it out with that info. Make any sense?
