Just got the right sized wrench and socket today to remove the rail so the
injectors will be tested and/or replaced this week.

I replaced the distributor today to remove any issues with that. Still
won't start and still no codes other that 12 and 55

Going out to continuity test what I can now.

If there is a problem with the coil or other electrical parts would the
computer pick it up?

Thanks,

Bill
