    CAUTION: Coil secondary wire must be grounded if not connected to cap while engine is being cranked. Otherwise, damage to computer may occur.
  2. If no fuel is seen, perform "In-Tank Pump Test". If fuel flow is minimal, perform "Fuel Pressure Test". If fuel flow is excessive or evidence of flooding is seen, perform "Excessive Fuel Flow" test.
