pizzaguy, I was meaning, after disconnecting the positive battery terminal, there was 12V still in the lead that had been disconnected off the battery and not just for a split second. I mean like 10 seconds after the lead was removed from the terminal. I have been reading the service manual, so from this diagram, power goes from fuse 11 to the coils, and the pcm activates each coil as required? Could that mean that the charge is sitting in the coils and the pcm isn't working correctly, or isn't powered, or could it bad a bad earth? Is there a fuse (or 4) for the pcm?
