Dear Greg R,

Hope you're well. To test your Digital Multimeter (DMM), take a factory-fresh 1.5 volt battery and see if the meter shows at least 1.5 volts. If it does, the DMM likely is OK.

If, after charging, the battery showed only 11 volts, there's a bad cell in that battery. Even if it is just a year old, something has gone wrong.

Some auto parts stores can load-test batteries. If such a test shows 11 volts, then the battery is "junk".

One other thought: I've read posts wherein it was reported that corrosion under battery cable insulation sheaths caused inadequate power flow.

As to the coil, if you have handy a known-good spare, it is an easy swap. Few coil failures show in on this board.

Another possibility is that the fuel injector relay (on the inner-fender wall of the engine compartment) may have failed. If so, the car will crank but not run.

Hope this helps.

Yours faithfully,

Spook
