No codes, passenger side coil works fine, I found out that coils in driver side gets 12V just as the injectors, but seems like coils are not getting ground from the PCM to create spark. Apparently all this was caused by a short back into the utility box, in one of the lights. I corrected that and the only thing I have left looks like the PCM and Oxigen sensors, other than that I replaced all the sensors everywhere.

Not sure if I should find out what is the pinout diagram to see if I can track the ground. Would this cause an issue?

Hi,

I attached a portion of the wiring schematic that is relevant for the ignition coils. Based on your description, it sounds like the PCM was damaged. However, I would think it unlikely that all 4 cylinders on the same bank would fail like this.

Take a look at the picture. You know there is power, so like you said, we need to determine why the PCM isn't providing ground. Check the wiring and let me know what you find.

Take care,
Joe

Thanks so mush Joe!

Your info help me a lot! I did check the wires for each coil from connector to the computer harness and all of them has continuity, what you say makes sense the computer may be bad, is there a way to actually see that is bad? I opened and checked but didn’t see any burn or sing of short, ( checked only the top side) wanted to remove it to look underneath but is all cover by clear glue like recine that protects it.

Also not sure if makes difference but while the engine running I pulled out a coil connector and measure the voltage and I get 0 to 1.67V in most of them and while the engine of I get 12V not sure if that is right.

Appreciate your help.

When you get that voltage (0 to 1.67) which wires are you checking? You should have 12v to the coil that really sits and does nothing until a ground path is provided via the PCM.

You could check at the PCM for a ground if you wanted. If none of the connectors are damaged or corroded, you could back probe the ground wires for each coil. Also, the power to the coils is from the same source. What voltage are you seeing on the coils that are working? They should all be the same. Is that the case? If it isn't, we need to trace the power supply back to where there are splices which may be a problem.

Thanks Joe!

I was checking the voltage when I happened to see a line of oil running down the manifold in the driver side where the bank has no spark plug. Also noticed more water than usual coming out of the tailpipe. So look like the head gasket may have had been blown out, it was overfilled with oil. I'm not sure if that explains having too much pressure at the pint that oil was coming into the cylinders chambers interrupting the combustion process and no spark. I just started pulling the engine on pieces to see where that oil may be coming but seems that new head gaskets will be needed.

Ouch! That isn't fun. This one requires timing chains to be removed as well. Here are the extensive directions. The pics correlate with the directions. The install will be the reverse of removal. After the removal directions, I am going to add torque specs. The remaining pics will correlate with the torque information. Note that step one (according to the directions) is remove engine.

NOTE: Use a straightedge that is calibrated by the manufacturer to be flat with 0.005 mm (0.0002 inch) per running foot length. For example, if the straightedge is 61 cm (24 inch) long, the machine edge must be flat with 0.010 mm (0.0004 inch) from end to end.

NOTE: LH is shown; RH is similar.

Support the cylinder head on a bench with the head gasket side up. Inspect all areas of the deck face with a straightedge, paying particular attention to the oil pressure feed area. The cylinder head must not have depressions deeper than 0.0254 mm (0.001 inch) across a 38.1 mm (1.5 inch) square area or scratches more than 0.0254 mm (0.001 inch).
