Anil,

One reason you may be frustrated is because you get a lot of poor advice offered by well-meaning people.

For instance, the notion that in-line fuse doesn't have anything to do with ignition is false. The ignition controller (ICU) is powered through it. However, the fuel system is too, so if it were the trouble, I doubt you'd have wet plugs.

But you don't have this fuse under the hood; it was moved indoors to the panel by your left knee: fuse number 6. Someone familiar with your model would know this.

Another frustration is that method Phil suggested to test the coil. It doesn't work. These are suggestions made from the experience of armchair theorizing instead of actual experience.

You should indeed get a test light or meter and verify the coil is getting powered, and the power stage is connected to it without corrosion.

If you want something from actual experience, yet not advice directly to you, follow the thought process laid out here. I know it assumes a little more understanding of the system than you've achieved yet, but if you go through the thought process, and strive to understand, then the motions, you'll find the trouble. Ask questions. Keep the conversation moving if you try something and don't get results.
