Hi,

The coils all receive power from the same place, the fuse box under the hood. There are two fuses, one for the even number coils and one for the odd. I need you to check them to see if they are good and if there is power present both to and from them.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

When you check the fuses, the key will need to be in the on position.

If the fuses are good but have no power to them, remove the powertrain relay. If there is a different relay with the same part number, switch them. If there isn't, here is a link that explains how to test one:

Start with this and let me know what you find.

Take care,

Joe
