Can a stock harness be swapped for an ECM?
Matching key components such as a TAC module with the ECM can be tricky without all vehicle/engine-specific details such as year, make, and model. A stock harness can be used asisin the swap, or can be given the “wire diet” by cutting off the loom and removing the wires that are not needed.
Do I really need this$ 70 wiring harness?

When does the Ignition Control Module ( ICM ) create this switching signal?
Once the engine starts and/or above 400 RPM’s (anything above this and the computer considers the engine as having started), the ECM takes over spark Timing and the activation of the ignition coils (thru’ the ignition control module of course). When does the ignition control module (ICM) create this switching signal?

How are the coils on an ignition coil made?
Each ignition coil consists of two separate coils wrapped around each other: the primary winding and the secondary winding. The primary winding is made of heavy wire and receives energy from the battery. Test this part of the coil first. Connect the multimeter’s positive and negative leads to the corresponding terminals on the ignition coil.
