Hey, i'm new to the mx's also, but i've had similar 4cyl cars that had the same setup, and all you have to do is figure which wire is the positive and negitive, and connect them to the corrects sides of the aftermarket coil. I'm about to do it to mine, once i get a little more money, and i'll tell ya how it goes. -Joe
