Br = ground
Black/Red = Hall sensor on Dizzy
Green/yellow = Hall sensor on Dizzy
Green = not use
Black/green = Live whilst cranking
Black = Ignition live

1.8 and 2.0 use ESC units 1.6 uses a basic TFI unit.

Yeah, sorry, I totally missed a solder point on the diagram... The diagram was making no sense till I spotted that.

No, the starter solenoid is only live during cranking, the minuet you let off the key your engine would cut out.
