'97 up opti and spark test?!
does the procedure given on this website http://csce.uark.edu/~jgbertr/rb/4th...mpression_test
work for a '97 opti. I'm wondering because the diagram is from a '95 and the wire colors are different. anybody?

I think you posted the wrong link if you are testing the opti.
Is this what you meant? What wires are different? The only thing that I know is different is the wires and connector to the coil (not the ICM), since the later models have a single connector coil. The procedure does not say to test by wire color, but by the cavity designation. Testing should be the same.

alright here we go. I found this diagram
that shows that A and D are the outer two wires, not inner. It must be different for the '97's. If that is your website shoebox, i would add that in there to avoid further confusion.

You should be looking at the cavity designations that are embossed on the connector to determine which is A-B-C-D. This is the way the connector actually is, so A and D would be on the outside as you say.
