My ,limited, experience says it should work as the big changes , in the computer system, started in the 03 and up models. Check crank sensor if no spark

You've already swapped the coils and plugs, which is a smart move. To check if you're getting a spark, take out a spark plug, connect it to the spark plug wire or coil, then touch the plug's metal part to the engine to ground it. Have someone start the engine, and see if you get a spark.

Just disconnect the negative terminal of the car battery. I'd leave it off for about 15-30 minutes—that usually clears any error codes.
