Re: 96 SL2 cranks but won't start

1. first, they shouldn't be on the same side, the order on the coils should be 4-1-2-3. second, the DIS system uses a waste spark method, so one coil fires two plugs at the same time(1/4 and 2/3). if one plug of the pair fires stronger then the other then ether the plugs, wires, or cylinder compression is at fault.

2. perform a cylinder leakdown test to find where you are losing compression

3. there is, i'm not exactly sure how, i think its called a spray test, and probilly requires some special machine

4. not exactly sure what your asking, but with that low of compression, i would be more surprize if it did start.

5.module -no, coil packs - unlikey, 96+(OBD2) are a little more picky about the firing voltage.
