    I will call my dad tomorrow and tell him what happened with your car and see if he might know of some things you can check that might be wrong.
    I know the wiring is right though, unless for some reason the wiring is different for 94 and 95 3.4Ls which I doubt..

        are you sure you have the first coil wired backwards?
        If you look at it from driver side to passenger side, the one that is on the right, is backwards from the other 2..

              you have yours wired differently from mine, I have a white and black wire from each CIU going to the same 2 wires.
              The first coil on mine (for cylinders 2 and 5) is connected with the other 2, but it is just backwards.

                When I installed my DIS-4 i took a voltmeter, turned the key - so there was power on the ignition - measured all pins (those pins you mount the coil resp. CIUs on), wrote down where´s the 12v source and where´s the trigger/ground and then wired everything according to the instructions.
                It´s really not that hard and you can be sure the ignition is wired correctly for your car and you don´t have to rely on perhaps wrong diagrams.
                (I also don´t trust GM in those things, perhaps they even wired some cars different - because without the DIS-4 it doesn´t matter IMO where´s the source and where´s the trigger)
                Just my .2 cents. [img]smile.gif[/img]

                  You might want to check the plugs now too they're probably fouled...

                  Did you try the diagram I gave you and it didn't work or havn't tried it yet?

                    alright well i wrote down my 12volts sources and follow the MSD Instructions to a key and it didnt work.........but im gonna try your way again batmobile im gonna completely take it apart and do it ur way cuz i halfassed it the first time i tryed your way.................
                    ive got a few questions bout ur diagram im gonna disassemble while i wait for ur reply ill put my questions in parantheses

                    clarify before u read taht and get confused lol
                    wire wraps meaning the each set of wires wraped in the black rubber
                    +coil meaning positive coil wire


                    For the CIU on coil pack 2/5:
                    White*: Goes to 2 Black/Red wires((+coil wire goes to both black/red wires each from the seperate wire wraps?))
                    Black*: Goes to 2 red wires(((12v source? goes to both red wires from each of the seperate wire wraps?)))
                    Black: Yellow
                    White: Black/Yellow

                    For the CIU on coil pack 3/6:
                    White: Black/Green
                    Black: Green
                    (12vsource?)Black: Goes with the 2 red wires from Black* above((connects also to the 2red wires from seperate wire wraps?))
                    (coil+)White: Goes with the 2 Black/Red wires from White* above(connects also with both black/red wires from both wire wraps?)

                    For the CIU on coil pack 1/4:
                    White: Black/White
                    Black: White
                    Black: Goes with the 2 Red wires from Black* above(same thing goes with both red wires from both wire wraps?)
                    White: Goes with the 2 Black/Red wires from White* above.(goes with both black/red wires from both wire wraps)

                      Did you buy the MSD Coil Interface Module? (or Coil Interface Unit as I called them previously)
                      You need 1 of these for each coil (3 total) otherwise it won't work. Go to www.summitracing.com and do a search for part # MSD-8870 you will see what you need. I don't know if you have them or not, I am just bringing it up just in case.

                      To answer your questions in parenthesis -
                      About the black/red and red wires, I am not sure what the purpose of the wires is because I don't have the instructions from the DIS-4, but I will call my dad and see if he has the instructions or if he remembers if that was the 12v source. I will post an answer to this later..

                      And for the other parts, there is 1 black whire from each CIU that connects together and goes to the 2 wires and 1 white wire from each CIU that connects together and goes to the 2 wires. The tricky thing is that the first one (driver side coil) is backwards from the other 2. Hopefully i am explaining this clearly enough to where you can understand lol its kind of difficult.

                      if you are standing at the nose of your car, looking at the ignition, follow the wires I listed from left to right. The first white wire on the left goes to the 2 black/red wires, next wire is a black wire.. next is another black... next white... just follow in order and you should be ok.

                          so it goes 3 three black wires that are both 12v sources all connect together (the other black wires are triggers)..those black wires go to both Red wires////////////////\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\then 3 white wires being the positive coil wires all connect going to both black/red wires

                          i guess that would make sense if thats what u meant
