Default 97 850 wont start ran fine yesterday

Went to start my car this morning but it wouldnt. It will not start. Tested the battery and its good. We already know the car throws codes for the number three spark plug. The ignigtion(?) coil not responding to voltage test.
Any suggestions?

Hi Elizabeth, welcome to the site.

If you have a problem with the ignition coil I would start there.

There are several things you can check starting with fuel pressure. Can you hear if the fuel pump is running in the back seat area when it fails to start?

Are you getting spark? Fuel? Air? Is your timing belt still connected?

Who told you that? Could be the relay. Take it out and put it back in and see if that helps.
