No spark at coil?
After I had that rocker arm come loose, I removed the intake as advised by a few members here to check my cam lobe and lifter and of course that meant disconnecting just about every connector on the harness.
I cleaned all the connectors with contact cleaner before re-installing them in place after assembly, and went to start the car, no start.
I checked #1 spark plug wire, no spark. I checked directly out of the coil itself, no spark ( I put the male end that goes into the opti next to the water pump and no spark whatsoever).
I checked all my connectors again, still the same. The car was running and idling well before I took all connectors off though, and that is what has got me baffled
I must note that I was trying to crank the motor to get my lifters to pump up to set my valve lash right because I had removed them all and cleaned them. I did pull the fuses for the injectors so that I wouldn't get a load of fuel in my cylinders. I checked all the fuses and they are all OK.
Help?

Here's a few things to try:

Make sure your opti harness is free of corrosion and has a good connection.
Good luck
