Stand Alone ECM using stock distributor and coil question
Hello to everyone! Newbie here!
I have a RX-7 wide body with a VG30 engine turbo swap (ditch the rotacrapper) currently running with all stock sensors and stock ECU. But now I got myself a stand alone programable ECM which I would like to install on this car (I have installed the same ECM on other cars with susccess) The questions is this: How do I run the stock distributor and coil of the VG30 with my stand alone ECM?
My ECM can work with Hall effect, Coil, inductive pick up, etc., but I need to know which wires of the so called transistor (I know that there's a transistor involved somewhere, but I honestly dont have a clue on how it works or even where it is), the distributor and the coil are and what they do in order to match them up with my ECM and effectively control spark timming.
I have wiring schematics and everything involved that I got when I did the swap the first time, but none show me what the wires do (+, -, etc..) and which colors they are.
Thank's in advance
PS: Here is a picture of my ride

I know its sound annoying and stubborn, but the thing is that my current wiring harness is in really bad shape, I have cold/hot starting and driving problems and my ECM is getting extra hot, which could be because of bad wires or who knows what. Besides I got the new stand alone ECM and new harness already and its ready for installation.
I will post some pictures of the engine bay shortly
Thank's again
