    For starting problems, the K-Test is usually sufficient to test the ECM.

    If the Check Engine Light doesn't go out, then the problem is with the ACG (ALT) fuse, main relay, or ignition switch. Since the K-Test showed 4.9 volts, the ECM should be okay. Ensure the main ECM ground on the thermostat housing is clean (no oxidation).

    I suspect your ignition switch may be bad.

    Hi
    Wer is the ACG (ALT) fuse

    Under-dash fuse box. It may be fuse no. 12 or 24. Easiest thing is to check ALL under-dash fuses with a test light or multimeter, then you don't need to even know its exact location.

    Is fuse No. 12 bad?

    Here's how to properly and quickly test fuses:

    It's the connector on the left, with 26 pins, as you look at the connectors.
