Answer

ok check for power on the pink wire at the ignition module, if found proceed, if not check the fuses. check for power on the brown wires going to the coils, if found proceed, if not and you have ground on the black wire terminal K of the ignition module, replace the ignition module again. unplug the 8-pin connector from the ignition module, test for 500 to 900 ohms between terminal J and F, if ok proceed, if not replace the crank sensor. connect a voltmeter to the same terminals, set on low a/c volts, crank the engine you should get 200mv, if not replace the crank sensor. check for ground on terminals A and B, if not found replace the PCM. connect a test lamp, clip to positive post and connect to B of the small connector and then A of the small connector and crank the engine, the light should flash, if not replace the ignition module. good luck. and please accept my answer. thanks T-MAN
