340's up to 1983 were fitted with "conventional" distributor with points ignition, from the 1984 yr.model they were fitted with "mapped" electronic ignition made by Renix (a French company). The "Renix" unit is an ECU with a coil unit attached.

If your car has this the "coil" wiring is as follows.

In plug A terminal 1 provides a speed signal for the Rev Counter, the Tachometric relay (in CVT cars) and for the over-run fuel shut off system if fitted (1986 0n).
Terminal 2 is to ground (earth)
Terminal 3 provides a 12v+ supply from the ignition switch (via the fuse box (but not a fuse) and the ignition relay).

Plug B has two wires and connects to the flywheel sensor (on the bellhousing).

Plug C normally is not fitted on UK cars but terminal 8 gives a signal to the gear change indicator (1985 only I think).

However - one tip - If you run an 84,85,or 86 year car with a Type 402 Renix and suffer pinking on unleaded fuel you can retard the ignition timing by 4 degrees by earthing terminal 7.

Hope this helps - Mollusk
