need help connecting the distributor wire harness

Post by jamario »

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.
94' RS/GS/MS/CF Monster Turbo...coming soon.
93' GS SE, the Black Beast, the former love of my life...soon to be gutted and crushed.
94' GS, black on black, now in several small pieces...and one large crushed piece.
2007 Mazda3 GT Sport --- super fun
2004 Honda RC51 --- Lost forever to some theavin' bastard
