TWIMC; You need three things to go; fuel, fire and timing. When I had a similar problem I armed my self with a 10mm nut driver, a mason jar and a timing light. When it quit I took nut driver in hand and removed single bolt holding the two fuel injectors on the driver side . Be careful not to lose the small doughnut seals. I aimed the business ends into the jar and had my SO crank it for a couple of seconds. At this point you should determine if its a fuel problem. If not replace injectors and hook up timing light. If you have NO spark the inductive timing light will not flash. Check timing if able.

The easiest way to check your coil is to replace it. If you have access to a VOM let me know and we can do it the hard way. Good luck ken lewis kdlewis@juno.com
