    the other day on my lunch break I got in my car,started it and it died immediately and won't turn over..it seemed like it was the starter so I changed it...didn't fix it.checked all the fuses and all good.im getting fuel pressure from the rail...one of the coils(#3-6) were cracked and hot as hell so I changed it and still nothing...but the one thing I noticed is that the 3-6 coil is hot as hell but the other 2 are ice cold when I get done trying to crank it...Ignition control module maybe?I'm not getting any codes,engine light or anything....any help or info would be great!!!Im broke now and can't keep spending $$ on things that aren't the problem..THANK U

    So it turns over and cranks the engine but doesn't fire?

    One really hot coil could point to a short in the ICM.

    icm can be costly. i'd hit a junk yard and snag one. or used off ebay or something.
