Question 2 plugs, 1 either side of ignition control module, 1 has 5 pins other has 4 pins....
Do they all go to the 4 coil packs which are 3 pin plugs...?
Problem is its either my lead going to coil 2 is knackered as im not getting spark there, or the module's gone.... dont wanna pay for lead and module..
the plug that goes to the coils has 3 female pins which when testing 2 of the pins theres voltage 12v when ignition on and 14.2 when engine running, the 3rd pin has no voltage engine on/off, but the other 3 coil plugs no. 3 pin has a voltage of 0.53-0.62 when engine running...

I was just about to advice you to swap with a known good lead and coil...You just figgured out yourself...Well done !
