car wont start anymore

i recently had my heads off. and had my car running yesterday went to start it today and it wont even fire up. the coil [acks are sparking to themselves. i still have a spark at the plugs though. i did move some grounds around but i didnt think they would matter. i also spray painted the coil packs the make them look cleaner.

any input?

Make sure you reconnected the ground wire to the back side of the driver side cylinder head. Is it cranking but not starting, or is it not cranking at all?
