- The battery is stone dead and needs to be replaced. The engine would fire for just a second and then would die out. Scanned for codes and found P0351, 352, 353, 354 and 356 for the primary/secondary coil circuits on all 6 coils. Tested coil circuits and found the shared 5v reference close to Ov. Unplugged coils one by one and tried starting. Found that the engine would start and run with coil #6 unplugged. #6 looks to have been recently replaced, along with #2. Removed #6 and found oil in the tube. Recommending replacement of the battery, #6 coil and valve cover gaskets (to keep oil from shorting subsequent coils.) Additionally: The drive belt has some cracking in the ribs. Recommending replacement.
- Diagnose – P/S Leak
