B Series COP Harness 
 
Lay the B Series COP  harness over the cylinder head and connect the coil connectors 
to the coils.   See Figure 7  below.  Make sure the connectors are fully seated and locked 
into position.    
 
 
 
 
 
Route the harness through the engine bay, away from any high heat sources and sharp 
objects.  The branch labeled “EMS” should be routed towards the ECU.  The  branch 
labeled “Power” should be routed towards the power...

EPM Harness  
 
Connect the 4- pin connector on the EPM harness to the mating con nector on the EPM.  
Make sure the connector is fully seated and locked into position.  Route the  harness 
through the engine bay, away from any high heat sources and sharp objects, towards 
the ECU.  See Figure  9 below.

Coil Firing   
 
In order for the EMS to fire each coil individually, the coils must be activated and 
configured correctly  in AEM Tuner.  Click on the Coils and Injectors tab  labeled Coils/Inj 
and acti vate Coils 1  – 4.  See Figure 12  below.

The Coil Phasing sets the firing order of the coi ls and must match the Injector phasing.  
For the  example shown above in Figure 12, Coil 1 and Injector 1 both have a value of 
12.    The corresponding values for Coils and Injectors 2- 4 also match.  See the 
advanced calibration notes on phasing included wit h the EMS for more information on 
Coil and Injector phasing.
