When you "touched [your] ratchet from the pos. to the neg. side on the battery posts & it made a spark," were both the terminals connected?




Also, what does the car do when you turn the key? Click? Crank? Nothing whatsoever?

There is a fuse for each bank (left side and right side) of coils and injectors. The fuses are labled inj1 and inj2. Check those to make sure they are not blown.

Da Swami,..yes everything was plugged in...terminals included. And yes the car cranks over just fine and acts like i dont have the coil pack harness plugged in...but thats obviously not the case.

And NoGamesLS1 i've checked all fuses, they all look just fine.

Do you have any other coil packs? When I got my car tuned by a certian somebody I had them put on msd coil packs and for some reason they ground down parts of my bracket and hit a wire. The wire was arcing on the valve cover and it burt out one or two of my coil packs. So if you've tried everything and still cant get it to work try that out. Small shot but I cant think of anything else right now

The number one cylinder is located on the driver side, closest to the radiator. The number eight cylinder is located on the passenger side, closest to the firewall.
