    Looks to me the only possible choice is to trigger via injector wire. See on a couple of sites, suggested for '96 up.
    Worth a try to see if it'll trigger from there.

    Is that the power or trigger wire?
    According to instructions (no comment as to what I think of the author), it appears to read off pos, now thats freakin strange.

    Are you hooked to the coil power wire or trigger wire?

    From what I see on the web, green is suppose to be ground / trigger side, other one is power.
    Try running off injector wire. Odd part, shows it hooking to pos on injector as well.
    Frustrating that they can't even include decent instructions, lots of conventional style coil vehicles still out there.
