Have you checked to see if the ECU PowerRelay in the BlackBox above the coil is FunctioningCorrectly ~ There are 2
Relays in that box ~ 1 Provides Power for the FuelPump the other Provides Power for the ECU ~ They are Cheap & Easy to
acquire so I would suggest just replacing both ~ If it does not solve the issue, you will then have spares ~
