Right im not 100% sure but ill giv it a go!...
distributorless ignition uses 4 seperate coilpacks to generate ignition for example: If you look at the plug leads on an older car with a dizzy then there will be 4 thick leads going from the dizzy to the plugs..
However if you look at a newer cars plug leads they are just plain wires going to the coilpacks..
There will be a seperate coilpack for every cylinder located where the plug lead reaches the plug...
what engine is your starlet usin btw?...
