I'll inspect them first. Anyway to inspect the ICM? The grounding for the ignition is on the valve cover correct?

Try to disconnect the coils one at a time (with the car off) and see if it changes what the car does. If it does not them that's obviously a problem. Make sure they do not short out on the block or anything else.

I'd unplug the low voltage plug from the coil. You could try just pulling the coil off of the plug but the coil might arc on its output if you do that.

I have no idea what that means.

I dunno, I'm thinking its not the ICM. The engine throws no codes while trying to start. That seems weird.
