Are you getting any spark at the plugs, and if so what color is it?

just checked and we are not getting spark to the coil. On these things is there anything else but the coil that would be sending off that problem?

Spark at the coil or twelve volts to the coil?

If its a spark at the coil problem you should have your ignition module tested.

If no voltage at the coil then you need to check for a broken wire or a bad ignition switch
