I am rewiring my distributor bypassing my stock harness. I have 6 of the wires from the ecu. I read that one wire to the ignitor is battery power from ignition. What is the other wire and what does it go to?

also one wire ( not one of the 8 dizzy wires) in the chart I'm using is labeled ground from the ecu for ckp. the chart says to ground to shield... What shield, and where?

 

its an obd1 ecu by the way

 

this may help

seems like bypassing your stock harness is kind of the hard way to get done what you are trying to accomplish. If you have an issue with your harness i would replace it rather than have wires draped over the engine bay and ran seperate from the rest of the engine loom when it's really not necessary. that's just me though.

 

It is definately the hard way to do it. I don't have money to get a different harness, and can't get a job without a car. On that pinout for the distr plug theres only 7 wires, theres 8 coming from my distrib is that an obd0 plug?

 

regardless I don't think that helps me any... I have the tdc sensor wires cky sensor wires and the cyp wires hooked up. thats 6 of 8 wires.. what are the other two? do they go to the ecu? One is battery power from the ignition, correct?

 

I think it should be the tach wire....a blue one?? from the gauge cluster/tach and there should be 9 wires. Atleast thats what my obd1 dizzy has

ok so the black yellow is 12 volts from ignition, it says for the yellow green to the ignitor, ign input signal? whats that mean exactly? Thanks for the awesome pic by the way

 

I think I figured it out, its labeled icm on the ecu pinouts. Thank you very much for your help sir
