Is the CEL ON?
Have you checked the ICM in the distributor?
Does the BLK/YEL wire attached to the ICM have battery voltage with the key in ON(II)?
Does the fuel pump prime?

With the key turned to ON(II), does the CEL illuminate for 2 seconds and then turn off?
How do you know the coil and ICM are good? Does the distributor get battery voltage?

For Step 6, there was continuity. What do I do since there is not supposed to be continuity? Is the ICM good or bad? If it is good, what is my next step?
