Hello, can you check for codes? With the engine cranking, can you check for spark at the plugs, visually? Can you check fuel pressure?

No I have not been able to check for codes but I did check for spark and I could barely feel it with the plugs and coil. I have checked the fuel pump system and pressure are great. Note the SES light has come on since before this happened
