Does it start, run at all? Double check connection for the coil-pack harness.

Did you get all the grounds on the head, there should be 3 on the drivers side. Try disconnecting the coils and probe the connector to make sure your getting juice, and also check for zero ohms between the negative pin in the connector and ground on the battery -. Check for zero ohms between the head and the battery -, make sure you are getting a good connection with the probe on the head, if in doubt place both probes on the head, it should be zero or close to it ~0.1 or 0.2.
