Leading Coil Assembly

Since it is black I thought it was a ground, but reading on my Meter said it was putting out about alternator voltage when running....I thought grounds were black...

Also, anyone know where the Tachometer circuit starts under the hood...is it at the Crank Angle sensor ?

One more....(I can't look jack **** up with this proxy error thing going on) ....how important is spark plug wire resistance....are lower resistance wires better ? Cause I just read that wires should be close to spec in regards to resistance or it could cause some problems in the ignition system....

Thanks for letting me triple dip here....

NO.
In fact, a LOT of the "black" wires on the FC are actually power.

It runs from the trailing coil pack straight back to the instrument cluster.
It has nothing to do with the CAS.

NO.
Lower resistance doesn't automatically mean better spark plug wire performance.

Try giving your thread a better subject next time...

Yes I agree on the subject suggestion and thanks for you help, as usual, Ted.
