I'm thinking that the module is the most likely culprit, since it is original. A module is $30 from Rock Auto, and a coil is $10. I figured I'd replace them both like I should have anyway, but what say ye about what's the most likely cause? I thought module, coil, fuel pump, in that order. It's definitely not out of fuel. I even tried switching from the front tank to the rear tank, would still not start.


I"d start by checking for fuel and then for spark. I'd lean towards spark being the problem and especially suspicious of the module.
