i was talking about the condesor. The wire broke off on one side and i was wondering if i needed it. I got one fro the junkyard but it turned out to be bad. But anyways yea... my car still isnt running am im getting ready to kick it very hard! its so fustrating. I am getting voltage at the BW wire at the coil, and at the ignition switch. The Ecu gets power through pin 9 Y wire in start position. But nothing comes out to the ignitor.

I don't have time to re-read what's been done right now, but have you replaced that ignitor unit? Obviously it's something right in there not allowing the coil to send spark.

What about the other wire going to the Ignitor? It's supposed to be YW. Its the one that recieves it's voltage from the ECU. Like I said there are two YW wires on that connector of the ECU harness so make sure you've got the right one. Without power coming through that wire the ignitor wont fire.

The wire color break down on that connector should look be:

_____\/___________
lX/B l YW l Y l GL l
l___ l____l___ l___l
l B l Y l YW l B l
l_______________ l

The YW with the arrow pointing to it is the one that should be powering the ignitor from the ECU.

Oh, I totally forgot about that little thing. What's the thing for anyways?

It basically stores a small amount of voltage so if there is a momentary drop in voltage in the circuit it will compensate. Basically its a small battery. It's also known as a capictor. But since there are so many types of capacitors using condensor helps to prevent confusion.
