Hi:
Are you getting power to the coil? Also, have you checked the computer for codes?

Let me know.

Hi Again:
Are you getting spark to the plugs and fuel to the injector?

Also, I want you to try something. Cycle the ignition switch from off to the run position 7 times, then back to off. See if the engiine light flashes. If it does, count the number of flashes. There will be a delay between numbers if it works correctly.

Let me know.
