Ok. I broke the ground on the second connector after taking the harness off so it looks like I'm installing the new connector sooner than I thought... oops. Here are the pics:
// Celica wire pinout. Same pinout as documented in the other COPs thread... notice white == gnd and black == 12v![vash](https://www.miataturbo.net/images/smilies/vash.gif)

// 4 wires from the COPs. big ones for 12v/gnd, little ones for the 2 triggers

// crappy pic of the 1/4 trigger wire. the other connector has 12v, gnd (until I busted it), and 2/3 trigger

Anyway, problem solved. I used fatter wires for grounds first and shared them between all four coils, same problem but slightly better results. Car started but still had trouble idling. So what did I do next. I separated the coils into pairs for grounds. I paired them by how they fire. So 1 and 4 was on its own ground and so were 2 and 3. Grounded them both to the valve cover and problems went away. Started easily using my old MSQ file with all my old cranking parameters. Took it for a test drive and it went like a bat out of hell.
