If you have tried triggering the coils the wrong way, or wired them incorrectly, you do risk damaging either ecu drivers or the coils themselves.
Almost all modern COP's are TTL, and if there are 4 terminals, it is 99.9% TTL.
Found this on a US Evo forum, and it shows a pinout
You will need to check timing, and determine if your spark edge is rising or falling. ie, does the coil trigger on application of 5v, or removal of 5v.
Wrong way will fry the coils as dwell time will be inverted.
