Take off the cap and check the wires to the ICM. Might have a bad ICM itself.

the 5th gen base timing is locked so you cant change it, that is why it won't turn. take your igniter to a decent parts place and they can test it for you.

Make sure the wires going to the ICM are also on the terminal all the way.
