HELLO, CAN ANYONE HELP WITH THIS? WHAT ARE THE ACTUAL COLORS OF THE 3 WIRES ON THE PLUG THAT GOES TO THE PRIMARY COIL, ON A 93 RANGER 2.3L MINE ARE REALLY HARD TO TELL AFTER CLEANING, I THINK LOOKING AT THE PLUG, THE LEFT WIRE IS TAN OR WHITE W/ BLUE STRIPE, CENTER WIRE IS RED W/ GREEN STRIPE, WIRE TO THE RIGHT IS TAN OR WHITE W/GREEN STRIPE, ALSO WHERE DO THEY GO? I COULDN'T FIND THOSE GOING TO THE P.C.M. AFTER UNWRAPPING THE HARNESS, IF YOU HAVE A MANUAL OR ACCESS PLEASE CHECK THIS FOR ME. THANKS!

Try calling your local ford dealer and ask to speak to parts see if they can fax you a wiring diagram for that component ask him also if he knows of anything of this problem(good parts guys always know of common breaking items by make/year) and then ask if you could speak to an expeirienced mechanic and explain your problem( they are usually very helpful )
