If the Red wire is coming from the ignition switch, the blue wires coming from the PCM, and the orange wire coming from the ground. Still nothing, checked the spark plugs and found that there is now no spark and that makes issue NO.2 I manually open the relay and the fuel pump kicks in, tried to start the car while I held the fuel pump relay open (Fuel pump working). I pulled the relay cover off and noticed that it is not functioning, so I replaced the relay and it still does nothing. I tested the fuel pump, and it does work. So I replaced the starter, now it cranks very nicely the way it is supposed to. Everything checked out fine, so I left it alone and put everything back together. So I pulled the valve cover off to look at the camshaft markings to see if it was in time. I also noticed that the car barely cranked over, as if it was struggling to start. I started checking things and noticed that the fuel pump was not kicking in, must have kicked in a little in order to start the car, but probably not enough to keep it running properly. I put a new (used) motor in the car, and tried starting it, car started but ran EXTREMELY rough (so bad that I never took it off the jackstand because it would not idle and would die if I let off the gas) and it would only run for seconds before dieing anyway. I did touch one of the prongs with a negatively charged test light and the relay opened and fuel pump kicked in, so I know that the relay is good. I have replaced this relay with 3 different relays and they all yield the same results (Non functioning, as if they are not receiving any signal to open). But for some reason the relay isn't opening by itself. I have checked the fuel pump, by manually opening the fuel pump relay and the pump will turn on. So my conclusion is that the coils are not receiving any signal. I even switched out the coil with another coil just to be certain, and still nothing. I further tested this by placing a screwdriver in place of the spark plug and placing the SD close to the block while it was cranking and that too gave no spark. I tested this by pulling the spark plugs out and touching them to the block while it is cranking, the have nothing.
