OBD0 to OBD1 distributor wiring

Hello.

I have searched but I guess no one has the same colors as me for the wires coming out of the obd0 distributor. Apparently everyone has two white wires, a thin and thick one but I just have one which is thin like all the other ones. Has anyone came across this? For the blue/green that is supposed to be coming out of the distributor, I have the color blue solid. And the thick white that is supposed to be connected to the yellow/green, I don't have it, mine is yellow/green as well.

Haha. I have searched google. Yes, I also looked at diagrams. My problem is that I do not have the large white wire. I believe the distributor is aftermarket and I was told and have read that the wire colors may differ. Thanks for the suggestion.

Go by the pin location, not the wire color. Find the pin for where the "white" wire is supposed to be and use that.

I also went by the pin location. There are several different ones online. I tried them all and still just cranks. I will post the URL's. Thanks for the help.

Yes that is correct.
Write out your own pin to color sheet or take a picture of the wires before you depin it.

ECU is good. ICM is also good. I found out my somewhat thick green and yellow wire acts as the thick white wire. All of the other colors match. I do have one wire on the obd0 side matched with the green with blue wire on the obd1 side. I tried just focusing on the pins and the car just cranks. Need the right diagram if anyone knows please!

I'm thinking the coil may be bad? I tried testing for resistance but I can't understand how to work my multimeter. Can anyone help me out with this?

Actually looked up your post on how to check resistance. I think it was you haha. Both coils are good. I do have a question. I haven't taped the wires, just because I wanted to make sure it was right before taping it up. Could it be that the wires not being covered will cause no spark?

No, but its more likely there is a wiring issue still. Either broken continuity or wrong pin. I'm not very experience with hybrid swaps so I cant double check your work but maybe someone else can chime in.

Finally got the car started. Just taped up the wires and used a set of different spark plug cables and bam. Now I have a CEL, that dreadful code 9. When I check for resistance, negative with negative and positive with positive I get it within spec. When I put the positive terminal on the positive wire of the CYP and the negative terminal to a ground on the car it goes sky night like 1,200 ohm.

I replaced the CYP sensor and still same problem. Why wasn't I getting a code when I was OBD0? Now that I'm obd1 I get the code. Distributor may be bad?
