haven't tested the coolant temp sensor yet, which is the air sensor? and for all of those, don't i just need to test that they are getting 5+ volts from the PCM?
and just for giggles, i did try another primary plug to no avail. i will turn it to TDC tomorrow and then see where the rotor is pointing...
So picked up a new coil just to check, didn't install it, just made the connections and let it hang and gave it a shot. turned over real slow b/c the battery is low again and didn't start. figured i should try to jump it with a good battery, got it connected and went to turn the key, heard the pump prime and said a little prayer and click, everything died. no buzzer, no lights, no nothing. It was as if the battery had been removed... jumped out the car and checked to make sure i hadn't crossed the jump cables on accident and i hadn't. removed the cables and then re-connected them and the interior light comes back on bright as day. jump in and turn the key and click, it all dies again. did this one more time before i called it for the night.
thoughts? i killed my voltmeter earlier lol, but tomorrow morning i will check the fuses with the ohm-meter to see if i blew one.
