yep that's your IAC or BAC valve (i've heard them called both). mine is wired up to a PWM output on my haltech....so i guess it would be "PWM style".


on my haltech, one wire goes to the PWM output, the other is wired to 14.7 volts +.

the ecu would be controlling the timing. the mx-3's (at least the DOHC) have internal coils. the ECU would electronically be telling the coil to spark later or earlier (retarding or advancing the timing). the amount of timing is based on a lot of things such as engine load, air temp, coolant temp, R...

Well your 6A would wire up to the brownish "Ignition Module/Coil Control" wire (hook up to the white 6A wire). for the disty you could try something like this Ground the Black/Light Green wire to the chassis. Connect the White disty wire to the (-) MS&S wire Connect the White/Red disty...

you don't really control the disty, you just get a signal from it telling you the position of the engine. this signal will go to your MS&S. then the MS&S tells the MSD 6A when to fire the plugs. is there a wiring diagram for the MS&S that you could link to or post...that would help a lot.

this is for a BP disty, but the B6 could be the same: Black/Light Green = Ground White = Trigger Signal Yellow/Blue = Home Signal White/Red = +13.8 Volts My Haltech wired into the 4 wires on the disty, then i ran my Haltech Ignition Output wire to the white Trigger wire on the 6A. after that just wi...

there is a guy on this forum that says he has one installed... his name is Custommx3...may be the same guy as on here :?: probably not on a SOHC but at least he could help with some of the MS&S stuff.

yea i don't know if your SOHC will be the same or not. colors should be similar i would think though.

anywho, it does send the throttle %, it shows up on my Haltech. I'm using a 95 TPS.

yea it looks silly, but all that sticks out is the tip. it would look way better than my fart can.

i'm planning on switching mufflers anyway, so if i could just do the muffler without a resonator, that would be the way to go.

Ok here it goes:

Red/Green = +5 Volts
Green/White = Throttle %
Black/Brown = Ground
Red/White = Idle Switch

K...what the hell ARE you talking about? New cars don't come "bodykitted".. Just because they look more agressive, it doesn't mean it's a "body kit"...ever seen a car at at dealer advertised as "If you get the GT model, you get leather interior, and a big fat BODY KIT"...

that was a dumb idea.

anyways, use the breaker bar when she is holding the brake. if it doesn't work, you need a bigger breaker bar.
