The battery is new and it cranks like crazy also when I jump the F pump relay at 87 and 30 terminals the F pumps turn on and I can hear a gurgling fuel sound in the intake but still no firing.

With brand new F pump relay in the F pumps do not turn on and no gurgling sound in the intake. Just a humming sound in the engine, sort of electrical sounding, but not while jumping the relay.

How does one check the COIL?

This souns like an electrical issue because of the sudden death syndrome and the climate control weirdness.

Am I on the right path?
