Bosch 3-pin coil MS1 connection

Post by niccolatorres »

Hi everyone,
newbie question here!

I have bought a Bosch ignition coil with 3 connection pins... P/N: 377905105B/9220087034 (I am not totally sure but I suppose this means that this coil has an internal coil driver and it is not necessary any driver between MS and the coil, right?!)
However, I connected on pin #36 but I had no signal with that, neither with my v2.1 stimulator.

Question is, how can I connect this Bosch 3-pin Coil on my MS1 v2.2 board?

Please don't judge me for this newbie question... I found the information really confusing for some specific configuration, like mine, which I didn't found nothing explicit about that, So...

Many thanks

f the coil uses power, signal, and ground wires, it may be a logic level coil or require direct coil control. You can check this by applying power and ground to the appropriate wires. If you see 12 volts on the signal wires with the coil powered up, it is almost certainly one that requires direct coil control. If you have zero volts on the signal wire, it is a logic level coil.
