Default Engine missing-plug #8 is clean

Got the car back together today. Leak is gone for now, but the car is missing something aweful. I pulled all of the plugs, and all look normal, exept for #8 which looks brand new and completely clean. The header tube for #8 also stays cool. Tried swapping coils and wires, but it made no difference.
HELP!!!
Another week of this and I'll be contemplating LS1 retirement.

Is this a "fuel with no spark" or a "spark with no fuel" issue?

pull out the plug, put on the wire and have someone tap the starter a few times to see if the plug is firing.if its got spark, then you have a fuel problem. check to make sure fuel injector is connected properly

Do what formula says. It sounds like you might not be having any spark going to that plug.
