I drive a MY93 turbo and am trying to locate the ignition coil, has anyone got a clue where it could be

 

I think the 93's have coils per cylinder so you will find a coil bolted to the top of each plug.

 

I have just had another look and can not figure out where it is, I have spotted a coil shape which has a plug on it with 2 wires near the passenger side. Could this be it ?

 

It either has a coil bolted to the middle of the engine with four leads coming from it which is really hard to miss OR it has coils per cylinder and they will be pushed directly on the top of the plugs. Take a look at the top of the plugs if there is a lead on it then trace it back to the coil.

 

Still having trouble and have just taken some pictures:

 

undo the 12mm nut you can see where you would normally find your spark plug , pull the plastic looking cap off and this is your coil for that cylinder. so i believe

 

100%

 

I can confirm the MY93 has coil packs fitted to each plug

 

I am very new to scoobies so don't have a clue where the plugs are

 

look down to the left hand side of the engine and you will see 2 plastic overs approx 2 inch by 2 inch with a 12 mm nut on each and thats them right down inbetween the chassy and the engine same on the other side

 

I have just managed to find it, the reason why I need access to the negative of the ignition coil is for the flamer kit

 

be carefull and dont get burning your self mate

 

I am really doing this for the youngsters and got a fire extinguisher and a bucket of water beside the car for safety reasons.

Because I could not locate the negative of the coil, I decided to wire it up w/o the control module and went from the battery straight to the coil located inside the boot. Still no flames thou

 

It wont make a spark if your not making and breaking the neg to the flamer coil...... this is what the neg from the cars coil would be doing.

 

I really appreciate the help of yours and have just found out that the cars ignition coils has to be cut off in order for the car to leave some of the fuel unburnt

 

The spark doesnt need to be cut,This is a really crued way of doing it that some kits recommend on non turbo cars.All you need is the spark in the exhaust and a de-cat

 

I have managed to get that far, will there still be a good size of flames doing it that way and does the car have to be driven to test the kit

 

You'll have pleanty of fuel on the over-run, especially with a VTA dumpvalve! Just whack the plug in the exhaust; then go and show off at your local tesco's or what ever people with flamer kits do?

 

I think some fun on the drive at home should be fair enough, I have wired it all up but the spark doesn't seem to be sparking much. Am I using the wrong wires? The coil, plug and HT lead all came with the complete kit which is suppose to be in good working order.

 

Increase or decrease the plug gap until the spark is constant.If your doing this with the flamer switched on make sure you use a rubber handled screw driver and dont touch anything metal on the car.
