The car's body grounds the coils. They must be bolted onto the body.

Trailing coil, yel/blue is the tach feed for all the accessories like the dash tach, power steering computer, etc.

set your digital multi-meter for AC voltage, and ground the negitive lead of your meter. The voltage should increase and decrease with engine speed.

Or if you have a meter with a tach input, just hook up right on it

I the vacum line for your crank case pressure still hooked up to your turbo inlet duct and is the check valve still good? Also do you have the stock boost pressure sensor still in the car( located on passenger side fender under hood)? Does it still have the stock oraface in it(little round plastic piece in boost line)? If the check valve for your crank case pressure line is bad you will have trouble starting your car. It make it feel like your not keeping fuel pressure. Also the orafice will make your engine buck if it is not installed. You can get one from you local dealer for about $2.88. When they pull up the parts screen it will be under the intake section.

I used to think the same thing. The ground is the spark plug. The coil builds up a current field, then when it gets the "fire" signal from the ECU it sends the output to ground, which is the engine. On the way to ground, the current jumps a little gap called the spark plug, igniting the mixture. Pretty ingenious, eh?
