Default cant start it

ok, i have put my xr2 engine into my mk4 escort, but i have had to wire up the ignition myself as the previous engine has hcs management.

i had to guess what way round the posetive/negative (from coil) and ground go to the three pins on the ignition module on the dizzy. are there any components in there u can damage if u get the wires the rong way round lol??

as far as i know, ive tried every combination with the 3 pins on the dizzy, and ive changed the coil and the dizzy cap.

should i try changing the whole dizzy assembly with ignition module and find out what way the wires defo go on the module?? (that way ive changed eerything)

am i missing something out though???

can anyone sujjest anything?

Ignition modules don't like things like mixed up wires.

You need to make sure all the wires are right before you fit another one.
