See my post earlier this month WRT blown coil

If 15 amp fuse right side above ecu is blown, you can crank forever and
nothing will happen.

A shorted to ground coil pack causes this situation.  (Continuous
cranking but now sign of life.)

Get 6 or 7 15 amp fuses.  And lift coil cover off of the engine.

Then remove A coil one at a time but leave the wires attached.

ISOLATE it from all metal surfaces.

Install new fuse and turn inginition.just to on is sufficient.

If the 15 amp fuse blows again, that's not the blown coil so repeat this
procedure.

When the fuse does not blow, the coil that is isolated is the bad one.

Note that all these coil pack wires have very small numbers printed on
them close to the firewall connection IIRC.

HTH

Good luck
