OK, still a bit of a challenge it does not look familiar at the moment, any chance of checking the wire codes, that is colour and trace, for both wires, that way i may be able to match it on a wiring schematic.

Hi there, OK, this is an Earth wire, it will join the other coil and hook up to a wire on the fire wall.
