Sorry for the delay in replying. Did you figure it out yet?

The ignition coil will only have 12 volts for one to two seconds after you turn on the ignition switch. The voltage won't show up again until the engine computer sees engine rotation, (cranking or running). If the voltage is missing during cranking, suspect the crankshaft position sensor or the camshaft position sensor in the distributor.
