I've done the earth on bank 1, about to do bank 2 but when using test light to test for earth through coils it lights up, I connect test to negative and go through each of the 4 pins per coil connector till earth lights up

Just because it lights up doesn’t indicate a good earth. If the earth has high resistance, you’re not going to have a fun time.

• DTC P0354 – Ignition Coil Cylinder 4 Circuit Malfunction

Cyl 4 is the bank 2, (Passengers Side)

Do you have the OLD Hardware (Coils/Plugs/Injectors) ?
Maybe re-fit each one to start a process of elimination.

So I've settled with the fact that maybe my ecu is the issue, as after all this testing and replacement parts cars still **** house, anyone able to tell me if I buy a new ecu pim and bcm, can I just install then all then start my car or will there be other steps that need to be taken, as I've heard you can just plug and play but I'm not sure and don't wanna install everything then have nothing work still

Man, did you check the wiring? The stuff on that diagram Fu Manchu sent you about ignition supply and ground circuit? You are going to be spewing if you change all your electronics and key and find it was just a cracked or perished wire or bad connector. Which is so likely. It is the little things that get you.

Those computers are robust. You are in Perth. Send it to Kevin Stigant at EFI Auto Parts for testing. That dude is solid. Then you will know if you are barking up the right tree. He might just fix it for you, no programming required.

I can see a bargain spare parts car coming up, All new timing chains and ignition and fuel system components. One door kicked in.
