Default DS coils have no power. Help

hello
i have been trying to start this car and it just doesnt want to start. it started maybe about 3 times for about 10 seconds then it dies.
I tested the Drivers side coil and the pink wire has power
on the PS. the pink wire at the coil connector does not have power.
what should I be looking for. I am making sure all my grounds are connected
the 3 grds on the DS head on on. the ones on the DS block as well.
one on the PS block by the starter...

help
All fuses check out ok.

anyone have any idea on what I should look for. I am out of ideas other than trace the coil wire back to its origin and seeing if there is something broken.

does anyone know where the coil pink wire splits from. I am also checking continuity of the grounds on the PS coil harness. would a bad ground prevent the plug from getting 12v or is this a separate issue.?????
any advice???

continuity came out bad. there seems to be a bad connection at the grounds bc they are not registering as they should on both sides. I will double check them at the back of the heads, near the starter. and on the DS below the engine mount.

If all the fuses check good then start tracing wires. I had the same problem and there was a bad connection with the plugs on the passenger side fender. (the wires everyone hides in the fender) A power probe is your best friend in this type of situation.

I made sure the grounds were good to go but I still did not have any POwer to the PS coils. I dont know what else to do. I looked at all the fuses and checked good. the grounds are good. DS coils have power. where do the PS coils get 12v from?
I am going to connect the pink wire to a 12v feed if I cant figure this crap out.
