Kill switch, fuel pump, IAC, ECM, blown fuse

Check for 12V at the coil
Do you here the 2 beeps and the fuel pump turn ON when key is turned to ON?

Unsure but could be a MEFI-1 or 2, in any case trouble shooting will be the same.

Is there 12V at the coil with key ON?
When cranking can you see the Tachometer show at least 300 rpm?

Need a 12V resistor LED or a digital multimeter with a tone check. Connect the LED or meter as shown and a paper clip or other jumper and turn key ON. Start counting flashes. A code 12 (flash, pause, flash, flash, longer pause) is normal. The flashes repeat 4 times for each code, then goes to the next code if there is one.
