Question DS coil packs are not firing

I just got my engine done and tuned last thursday. Its ran fine until today when I started it up it would idle, so I thought ok its just cold. Then the ses started blinking indicating a missfire so I shut it off and checked the plug wires. Then I noticed that the ds header was just barely warm and the ps header was really hot. It has msd coils because a couple of the old ones went out on me. Anyone know what is going on here? I checked fuses and none were blown.
Thanks for the help

Check connections and then check the INJ 1 and 2 fuses. With the key on, pull one of the injector clips and see if there is power there. They run off the same fuse as the coils.

Blown fuse.

I had the same problem. If you stand beside the driverside fender, the fuse box on the left, it's the top left fuse. Well that fuse was for the passenger side, so i'm guessing the driverside fuse is close.

My fuse box stickers are so jacked up you can't read them!

I figured it out. There was a short. So I fixed it and it still blew the fuse. Then narrowed it down to one coil being blown. Thanks for the help
