All over the car been testing that wire and its a ground.I thought its sopposed to be a 12v w key on.Its the middle coil wire and the ignition capacitor wire.

yeah, it's a ground, the other wires are switched positive.

To the best of my recollection it should. the ASD relay controls power to the coil, so with the car off, it may very well be switched to ground through the ASD relay.

Sounds right, when I had starting problems with the car 2 years ago, I had to check that wire while cranking IIRC.

Actually, I just looked at some pictures, and yes, it should be 12v+ with the car on. The wire on my coil is wired directly to the battery and switched via a relay to bypass the entire ASD system.
