Hi,

As far as the wires are concerned, it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. LOL If possible, upload a pic of the connector for me to see. I may recognize it.

As far as the coils, have you checked the ignition 11 fuse in the under-hood fuse box? If not, do that first. In addition to checking the fuse, confirm there is power to and from it.

Here is a link you may find helpful:

I attached a pic of the coils and fuse in a schematic, so you have a reference. If the fuse is good, go to the coil and locate the pink wire and check there for power. Note: The key needs to be on for the fuse to have power.

Let me know what you find.
