<div style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman; COLOR: rgb(0, 0, 0); FONT-SIZE: 16px"><DIV> Just because it is a Bosch coil and spec'd for the Vanagon does not necessarily mean the spade connectors are the same. Did you check the connection numbers on the tach or just put the wires in the same place? It could be something as simple as a wire in the wrong place.</DIV><DIV></DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV>Dave B.</DIV><DIV> </DIV><DIV> </DIV><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">On 01/09/14, <SPAN>JRodgers<jrodgers113@GMAIL.COM></SPAN> wrote:</SPAN><DIV> </DIV><DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12px; FONT-FAMILY: arial; COLOR: #000000">What's up with this??<BR><BR>I replaced the coil on Volksiebus with a brand new Bosch coil - VW<BR>spec'd.
