You probably have the wires to the coil on the opposite sides.

Brown is always earth. Black is ignition +.(15)
Don't worry about sheath as they are always black or grey.

That black is definitely the earth and in probably long enough to get to the battery earth terminal.

Best advice is to get the Haynes manual that covers the 16V wiring. It has a green cover and not red.

As I said, brown is always negative.

To test the fuel pump relay, turn the ignition on and pump should only work for a few seconds.
