Message :at coil connector verified (when misfiring)" Meaning you HAVE voltage at the coil connector when misfiring? That rules out the PTU doesn't it?

Yes, I have voltage and ground when it is misfiring, as well as continuity to PTU. But I don't see how that can rule out the PTU? The coil still needs a signal from the PTU to fire, no? So, if the coil gets no signal, then it won't fire. At least that's what I assume how the coil works.

:Have you done a compression test (warm, cold, leakdown)? Maybe a HG or burnt valve?

No. I haven't done it yet. Although it doesn seem not likely to be the cause, since I am not getting spark in the first place. I can see how low compression will cause the combustion to fail, but it should not cause the spark not to fire. Otherwise the technique of pulling the coil and attaching a spark to test ignition will not work, right? Again, do let me know if my logic is amiss.

Cheers and thanks!
