Coil Installation

Covers:

• 1989-1992 2.2L 4-Cylinder Turbo Engine

The first generation Probe GT uses a non-standard coil as part of its ignition system. Because of this, there are no direct fit upgrades for the coil. However, an aftermarket coil can be installed by simply cutting the coil's wires and lengthening them.

Parts Required

• Standard type aftermarket coil

• 1' to 2' of electrical wire
• Heat shrink tubing or electrical tape

Tools Required

• Wrench/sockets

• Wire cutters

Removal

1. Mount the aftermarket coil.
2. Disconnect the two-wire connector at the bottom of the ignition coil.
3. Cut off the connector and attach enough wire to each of the two original wires to reach the coil. Make sure the connections are secure.
4. Place heat shrink tubing or electrical tape over the connections.
5. Connect the black/white wire (positive) to the positive side of the new coil.
6. Connect the yellow wire (negative) to the negative side of the new coil.
7. Attach the ignition wire from the distributor to the new coil.
