Greetings.
I have two questions. First, I am looking for the color code for the wiring between the ignition module and coil. I printed off the wiring diagram from the site but it did not have the wire colors or where each on went on the coil.
Second question is why would my car run like crap with the cam sensor un-plugged? I thought the went into batch fire and would run better if cam sensor was off. I recently recall reading about this but couldn't see it in the topics section.
Sorry if these are repeat questions.

Good question....I have been wondering that from some of the other posts...mine runs like a charm unplugged in batch mode. Years ago we ran them like that in the hopes of getting more fuel. Seems like we switched the yellow wire but that was long ago and it may not even have a yellow wire...
One of the standard checks if the car is detonating or missing without obvious cause.

Hope it makes sense!

Thanks To John for the diagram. Thats a great web page you have. Steve, I hope somebody can step up and point me in the right direction. I have tried the archives and see that the few I have read says that by un-plugging the sensor should have an improvement if sensor is off/bad. Wonder what it means when the car will hardly idle and spits like nobody's business.
thanks again

I am very curious about the cam sensor unplugging also!!!! I switched out my cam sensor this weekend thinking it was bad because my 87 GN idled bad and fought to stay alive with the cam sensor unplugged. I have read over and over to unplug the cam sensor to see if it is creating your popping or sputter at WOT. However, when I unplugged my cam sensor, the car idles terrible and it barely stays alive. I reset the cam sensor 25 ATDC #1 and still couldn't get the car to idle any better after unplugging the cam sensor.
Can some please help??? I really don't know if this is the way the car should act when the cam sensor is unplugged?? Maybe some has had different experiences with unplugging the cam sensor??
Thanks,

It appears that the trasher 92 chip makes the car perform wierd with the cam sensor unplugged. I installed my thumbwheel ultra chip back in the car last night and unplugged the cam sensor and the car idled normal. I could unplug and replug the sensor and even hear the injector ticks switch from sequential to batch fire.
Trasher chip has a different kind of open loop program at idle that seems to require the cam sensor signal in order to function properly.

My chip is a Jay Carter 93 octane. I could hear my injectors change too but it hardly ran. It was dark so I didn't look to see if it was rich. I am open for suggestions. I will try my stock chip tommorrow and see what's up.
Thanks,

Take a look at this detail, it's maybe a bit easier to understand:
