Use a 12 volt test light try to find the hot as I don't have a color code. Normally the ground is pulsed. Use an ohm meter one terminal on a ground . With the ignition off find the ground wire. Use a 12 volt test light and a gem clip small paper clip. Run the tester between the ground center wire and hot wire. Have some else crank the engine if the light blinks go to the next coil.
Each coil should get a pulse. Use an Ohm Meter and check each plug wire for continuity about 1/2 scale. Check each plug for cracks and proper gap. Use a spark tester and check each coil.
Start with this and reply back.
