there are only three pins on it?

i guess pin 3 would be black

but what colours are the other two?

[Sandy 191]

Pin4 is unused on that one. So black would be pin 3 etc.

ok cheers, is it possible to connect an ohmeter between the connecting wire and the spark plug outputs to find out which one goes where? or is it not a direct connection when not being powered up?

It doesn't work that way.

 

Pin 1 Cylinder 1 and 4 to the ECU (yellow)

Pin 2 Cylinder 2 and 3 to the ECU (red)

Pin 3 12v supply

 

Which cylinder the HT leads go to, is usually embossed in the casing.
