Ok I've only had this car for about a week and I'm slowly going over it to try and undone some of the odd things the previous owner did or what time has done to it.

I'm looking at the engine bay and the front coil has two small green pin connectors next to it that are disconnected. I tried looking thru the service manual online but had a hard time finding it since I don't know exactly what it is called. I don't believe they connect to each other, but it was dark in the parking lot.

Also there is another boot type electrical connector that isn't plugged to anything right by that same coil. Should that be plugged in as well?

Stuff like this is what is fun and frusrating about used cars.

For reference its an 88 SE

Bright green plugs are diagnostic

Well that simplifies things. lol Thanks.

Any idea about the black plug by the coil? My only real reason for checking wires and ignition is because the car was idling funny, but some new gas fixed that slightly. The car must have been sitting for quite some time because the more miles I'm putting on it the smoother it seems to get. I'll have one more question for an expert on here but I'll put it in the drivetrain section if there is one.

don't know what you mean by a "boot connector"

There is a single pin round female connector at each coil for reading the firing/tach signal of the coil...maybe that is what you mean???

That sounds about right, a female connector is a boot connector just like spark plug boots. I figured that was the easiest way to explain it.
