I bought a used V6 MX-3 that has a msd coil. Since the car wont start I want to take out the MSD and replace it with the stock. I got the connecter and wire harness from a mx3 at the junk yard.
My question is when I hook up the the wires do I just match the colors? Can anyone point me to the right direction or site that can help me out. I will try to post some pictures that can better explain what I am talking about.

Thanks

If you go the parts off the same year GS as your own, then you should be able to just go by color. I have seen differences from year to year in the colors though, and pre 95's have the cam position sensor in the distributor but 95+ do not...or vise versa...I can't recall at the moment.
