So I just replaced my spark plugs and plug wires, when i was putting it back together I couldn't figure out where this orange thing went:

i assumed here:

so i put it in like this:

This looks right:

but now my car idles like this:

So I dont know if I put the cable in the wrong spot or if the timing is off. I checked the tsrm on how to do spark plugs and it mentions no orange wire of sorts (http://www.cygnusx1.net/Supra/Library/TSRM/MK3/manual.aspx?S=IG&P=6) :1zhelp::1zhelp::1zhelp:

You put it in the right spot but installed it wrong. The cylinder slides through the slot and acts as a pivot. Take a closer look and it will make sense.

Almost there. You need enough slack in the wire to be able to twist the cylinder. See below:

The head of the sperm (cylinder) Will go straight through the hole and out the other side. The wire will slip through that slit in the first hole and lay in the groove around the outside of the wheel. You're almost there, just pull some slack into the cable so it will fit into the slot.
