Unhappy 3sfe yellow spark

Bit confused. Understand igniter coil may be inside distributor or may be located elsewhere. Before replacing I would like to check earth connections but not sure where to look. Understand computer one is behind radio somewhere, also need to check footwell earth points and one somewhere at rear of engine. Any advice where these points are exactly. thanks

The coil is in the distributor. Just take the cap and rotor off and there it is!

Can't help you on the grounding points, though. Although the computer should be easier to access than you think. Get down in the right-hand floorboard and pull the carpet away from the backside of the radio area and you should have easy access to the computer and its wiring harness.
