Message at all coils? Connect a pressure gauge to the fuel line and crank engine for a couple seconds you should read about 43 psi on the gauge. Shut off key and see how the gauge needle responds in will slowly drop due to return fuel to the tank but not abruptly, I just did that test on my car when testing a new fuel rail and the pressure dropped from 43 to about 33 in 15 min and my fuel pump is in good working order.

For the coils you can check by following the procedure in the service manual. There is an on-line manual version available on this site I believe. If not I can send you a link.

If the above proves OK then start looking for conections that may be loose or corroded. Make sure the battery is up to snuff and good + and - connections. I have put dielectric grease on all connectors and the battery posts to retard moisture and corrosion.

What were the symptoms before the problem started?
