Sure it’s an 86, a fc? The coil looks it came out of a fb, so it’s probably a 1984-85, fb body style, gsl-se with the 1.3liter fuel injected engine. Not trying to be rude or nitpicky just trying to help identify the car in case we start giving wrong information.

Below is the link to all your answers, the full service manuals.

Being a fc guy, I’d “assume” the green connector doesn’t get plugged into anything and actually serves as a test connector or a jumper to bypass the fuel pump relay or something. But the wiring manuals tell the whole story.

Before this gets out of hand with unintended misinformation, I'm gonna stop everyone right here.

This is a European-spec Series 4 NA. Therefore, the North American diagrams and manuals do not apply to this. Same with the Japanese ones, different setup. Euro-spec Series 4 NA cars have the N323 ECU, which uses a Distributor and Coils similar to the GSL-SE. All other FCs have a Crank Angle Sensor and the Coil/Igniter setup found in the North American/Japanese manuals.

HIGGI is our resident Euro-spec guru and would be the go-to person to ask. I believe he has the proper Euro-spec wiring diagram, but it's been awhile since I talked to him.
