Subject:ignition coil: mystery connector
From:Dan Barrett

Dear All:

I'm replacing the ignition coil on my 2.1L.  Like an idiot, I detached
the wires attached to the old coil without looking at them first to see
what was connected where.  Now, I've got an extra wire.

There's a big plastic female spade connector block (green wire) that was
attached to two of the negative terminals.  There's a
non-factory-looking female spade connector (two different black wires
spliced together) that was attached to one of the positive terminals.
And there's a factory male spade connector (white wire) that was
attached to ... where?  I'm reasonably sure it was connected to one of
the positive terminals (as shown in Bentley 28.39), but it's a male
spade connector and doesn't exactly fit on the new coil.

What am I missing?  Any guidance appreciated.

Best,
d.
