Coil-on-plug wiring and install with pics

Apr 13, 2008 #1

This article is intended to be a guide for those of you who want to

make your own cop setup. This is a start to finish write-up that
covers the materials and tools needed, assembly, wiring, and
installation to make your own coil-on-plug setup. Please note, while
I used all new parts for my setup which were somewhat costly, this
write-up can be followed with used parts and a homemade plate. I
just happened to have extra cash in my budget for this project.
Without further delay, here is the write-up.

Step 1:
Insert two leads into each of the four toyota connectors. Then install
one connector on each of the four coils.

Step 2:
After putting the connectors on the coils, I test fitted them in the
plate. The JMFab plate is made very well and the coils fit perfectly.
The only change I made was that I elongated the holes the leads
went through so they would have a little more clearance. Then I put
the coils back in and bolted them down with the hardware I
purchased.

Step 3:
Since the leads were all black, I put a red line on the top lead from
each connector so that I could keep them straight. Then I turned the
plate upside down so that I could start wiring it up.

Step 4:
I used the same wiring procedure as described in the other coil on
plug threads.
Here is what I did:
First, I soldered the bottom wire from coil 1 to the top wire of
coil 4. I had to solder in an extension because the leads were
not long enough.
Second, I soldered the bottom wire of coil 2 to the top wire of
coil 3.

Step 5:

Next, I soldered the top wires of coil 1 and coil 2 together, and
added an extension.
Then, I soldered extensions to the bottom wires from coil 3 and
coil 4.

Step 6:
Wrap all solder joints with electrical tape.

Alright guys, you've made it this far. There is not much left to do,
but pay close attention to the rest of the wiring. It is crucial. I have
a 6 bolt motor in my 2g with a 95 ecu and dsmlink. I am using the
invert cas option in dsmlink. However, I wrote this as if I was not
using the invert cas option since that applies to the majority. I will
explain what to do if you use the invert cas option.

Step 7:
Look at the triangle connector from the stock coil pack and make
note of the three wires and which coil they go to.

Step 9: Solder the red wire from the connector to the extension of
the top wires from coil 1 and 2. Solder the blue wire to extension of
the bottom wire from coil 4. Solder the blue/ black stripe wire to the
extension of the bottom wire from coil 3.
Note- If you plan on using invert cas, solder the blue wire to the
bottom wire of coil 3, and the blue/black stripe wire to the bottom
wire of coil 4.

Step 10:
Tape all solder joints, and wrap all the wires to keep things clean.

Step 11:
Trim the boots and springs so that the setup fits flush on the valve
cover.
This will vary depending on the thickness of the plate.

Step 12:
Bolt the plate to the valve cover, making sure the boots and springs
make good contact with the spark plugs.

Step 13:
Plug the triangle connector into the engine harness triangle
connector.

Thats it! You are ready to run.

I hope you all enjoy,
