Help!!!!!!

Okay here is the deal, I have been having a random misfire code come up and the car had been surging really bad, I replaced the O2's and plugs today and the random misfire code is gone but the car still has no power, so my buddy pops a plug wire off the coil pack and it's arcing like a champ, so we do the rest of them on the drivers side, all have spark. He goes to do the passenger side and NONE of the coils are firing. WTF???????? HELP any ideas are appreciated. Thanks in advance!!!

could be a pcm problem. Make sure the connector is plugged in good, then check all of your grounds. I don't think they have their own ground, but it is possible.

just checked all that, and the fuses. Does each set of coil packs have their own Ignition Control Module?

no...all controlled by the computer, cam position, and crank position sensor. You should really try to auto tap it and do some logging. check the codes.

Well I'm his buddy that he was talking about in his first post, and he doesnt have access to A-tap or any kind of scanning software. We tried the Oreily's BS but that just told what we already knew, that it was a multiple misfire which we could tell by the flashing SES but it's not doing that annymore since the O2s and the plugs were changed.
I am going over there with a test light or a volt meter tomorrow because it has to be either the ground or the power coming into the wiring harness for the coil packs themselves. If any of you guys have any other ideas we could sure use them cause I'm am basically at my wits end with this dang thing. I appreciate the help guys.
