p1351 means ignition control circuit high voltage with that being said check actual spark out of coil if no spark than vehicle control module may not be telling it to energize the coil check all fuses as cam said if fuses are good and no spark there could be bad power and ground wires to vcm, bad vcm ( that has to be programed by dealer if new one installed) , bad wires for coil or bad coil if further assistance needed dont hesitate to ask good luck and reply back findings
