You say you're getting a Code 12, that would suggest there is either no immobilizer fitted, or no immobilizer fault detected, an immobilizer fault would show an 8x code - 81, 82, 83 or 84.

Have you checked for ignition power to the coils? Each coil connector has three wires, black with blue stripe is the ground, black with white stripe is +12V, you should have power with the ignition switched on.

Do me a favor and walk me through, step-by-step how you're doing these checks.

Should there be a reading from the brown /black wire from the coil supply plug.

Have a look at this video - focus on the 0.34~0.45 portion - find that sensor on your car and make sure it's connected.
