A couple of vampire connectors should at least let you test it, but unless there are reliable ones these days they're not always a good long term automotive solution: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22vamp ... 72&dpr=1.5

I'm of the opinion there's no such thing as a reliable vampire clip. Should just be avoided unless temporary.

Easier way to test is to just shove a paper clip or something into the connector across the two pins. Just make sure it's taped up.

I have a 2 part 3D printed and laser cut connector which replaces the igniter on the NA6, and uses RS Component sourced terminals. Speed has a photo of it. I could probably post an STL and a DXF for interested parties.

Igniter should not be connected with the Toyota coils. The Toyota coils have their own inbuilt igniters inside them.
