I have the following capacitor on my car, but I don't know how this needs to be wired. Does it have two positives and is the bracket itself the ground or is one of these pins + and one -? If so which one is what? I don't have the part next to me at the moment, so i can't check if it is indicated in the capacitor itself.

The power wire is red with a green stripe. That is connected in series.
I don't have the connector for this one yet, so the colors don't really mean anything to me yet. Also i am not on fully EDIS. So i understand you correct when i say that one pin is +12v from battery (only on with ignition) and the second pin is +12v to the coil pack, right?
Then also which pin is which doesn't matter
Sorry i guess this what you ment with in serie but as i am Dutch technical english is difficult sometimes to understand and i don't want to make mistakes in this case.
there is just 1 wire used it ground through the metal tab

Yea then it is wired as in the EDIS diagram. So I will split the cable before going to the capacitor, so I think that its also possible to use both pins and not split before going to the capacitor. But I will check when I am at the car if the pins are connected internally to each other.

Thanks for all comments
RED BULL, "so I think that its also possible to use both pins and not split before going to the capacitor."
Yes, do not split the wire, they are connected in the plug.
The plug is circled.
The two wires, red with green stripe.

Do you have auto recycling yards in your country, pay them a visit.
This ignition is common on Ford products, should have no problem finding the parts.
