Question Help! my car won't start

I just got my ECU rebuilt. I changed all the spark plugs and got a new battery. I even tried to crank after removing the the engine fuse and put it back in and nothing.
I need some help PLEASE.

First make sure your ENGINE fuse in the interior is good.

Second, go to your LEAD coil assy. SEe the small, white, two wire plug? Pull it apart. Put your meter on a known good ground. Put the positve meter lead on the black/yellow wire on that connector. Put the key to ON. There should be approx 12v there. Is there 12v there?

It does turn over but it doesn't start.


I don't even have a meter. Can I get one at any auto parts store?
