I recently had an 04 MSM engine dropped in but had to keep the 04's Coil on plug ignition, so I figured yeah I'll just splice into where the 99's harness with the 04's ignition harness and be good to go right?
Wrong.
I can not for the life of me find where the wires that go to the '99 coil pack is.
Can anyone help me with this?
I'm really trying to get this thing working soon.
Plus it's my birthday. And yes all I'm doing is trying to get my car working :/
Looks nice right?

and no spark.

You might be saying, just use '99 CP?
This:
What do I plug them into?
That's the problem. When the engine was taken out I saw it sitting there the plugs still in the 99 CP's and the wires running up where the injectors are. and that's it. no ending or anything
So I'm just in a state of WTF and pissed offness right now.
+ '99 CP's are $300. No.

What about converting the 99' harness into the 04 harness? I have the 04 harness, and located the harness for the CoP and I found this:
The color wires for spark on 99's
It's in the front of the engine? yeah wtf right?

Black/white,black,brown,brown yellow. Those are the ignition.
They come over top the engine plug right there at the water pump neck, then go between the intake/engine where the injectors are? It's weirddd.
If the power comes to the top that's where I'm splicing I would imagine? I just don't understand why it's going back threw and (I think) down to another bundle of wires.
The only thing is, the 4 plug these plug into comes out as black, black, black/white, black/red. Yeahhhh.
