from a pinto wiring loom i believe it goes in line with the feed to the live side of the coil (please correct me if im wrong)

it looks like a capacitor, so its a noise supressor

thats what i thought, i was told it was a ballast resistor but i thought sierra ignitions were 12v and not ballast

if you search for "ford sierra ballast resistor" on google or whatever, a few results come up, so i guess it might be possible?


here you go

It is a capacitor, spike suppression. It even has its values on it

2.2uF 110 Volts.

that i saw thats what made me think it wasnt a ballast resistor as the measurement was in farads not ohms

That would be a 2.2 uF capacitor to stop spikes and naughtyness
