If the light was flashing when you were starting the car when briding the yel/blk and wht/blu, then the ignitor is working properly. As for the yel/grn wire, there should be 10V when the key switch is on by measuring with a volt meter. If there is 10V and the test light isn't on between the yel/grn wire and ground, then that test will not sire. I was trying to give you simple tests to do based off of how I understand the ignitor system.

Having the test light flashing indicates that the ECU is changing the voltage for the ignitor and the ignitor is grounding the coil properly.

I would replace the coil.

i finally received the coil from mail. installed the coil, turned the ignition on without cranking the car just to let fuel flow through the fuel rail (waited few minutes), finally crank the car and it started.

thank you very much for your help PAhonda........this site ROCKS!
