i would suspect the coil or the crank position sensor, if you already replaced them both did you set the gap on the reference sensor and have you rotated the engine while watching the reference sensor to see if perhaps the harmonic damp has gone bad and there's too much runout on the crank pulley meaning the gap gets larger and smaller at the sensor as you rotate... As far as the induction loop on the plug wire goes, it is used on your car but it will not keep it from starting and running. . Your engine has what they call semi sequential fuel injection, meaning that your injectors normally open in 2 groups of 3.... 1,3,5 open then 2.4.6 open the next revolution. This is done to control injection a little more precisely for emissions. It uses this induction loop as the sensor to determine where it is in the firing order. When it fails it goes into a mode where all the injectors open simultaneously but they only stay open for half as long since this way they open every revolution. This doesn't measure fuel quite as precisely but most people haven't been able to tell any difference in how it runs.
