If you know someone that has an f-body around you see if you can borrom their coil packs. That would eliminate that. I really don't see why the coil wouldn't be good.

Same here.

They were off the car for a month or so...not sure if that has an effect on them?

make sure there are three. and you shouldn't have taken the fourth ground off but check it just in case (behind alternator grounds to the driver side frame rail)

Yeah I just loosened those two bolts for all three grounds. Repositioned all three grounds - they all were on tight and flush with the head. So I am sure that didnt do anything.

Maybe I took something off on accident when removing the AIR? I just throwing **** out there cause I really have no idea why there is no spark.

I mean the coils have to be good. All the grounds are in. All the sensors are in by the back of the intake manifold...but no spark.

I may pick up a mulimeter? was told that would check to see if the coils are working at all.

Make sure ya didn't pop any fuses! Did ya make sure the cam sensor at the back is plugged in no spark = no signal to the pcm or If ya done checked the ground alot! You can also hook up a scanner and watch all the sensor to see what they do while you are spinning it over!

No scanner like one that reads codes and data of the sensors going to the pcm! If ya see something like no rpm when ya spin it over ya see that a wire like a sensor is un plugged or tighteded down and shorted maybe where ya can't see it that would tell ya everything there! The coils are very easy to get back on right its usually going to be some mistake thats weird some how I do a ot of electical stuff where I work and run into messed up wiring all the time! Most common is the wire tigned down under a bolt or nut and couldn't really see it but reading the sensor while spinning it over will tell ya a lot a direction to go in!I hate running problems but gotta get it fixed though sorry so long!@

You do all the testing yet! Speed eng is in CA isn't it have ya talked to them any!If ya ain't getting spark it should be easy to find (maybe)I seriously dought you fried all 8 coils heck mine has run with 4 only before because I forgot to plug them up so its either the cam sensor or pcm! Did ya scan the pcm and read the sensors ya going to be running in ciricles if not!

It's gotta be something simple. Unfortunately, you may have to tear down and put it back together to find it. There's someone out there somewhere who has the answer- hang in there.

Naw...nothing yet, still working on it. Have not had that much time due to work and all.

I bought a multimeter though and I have a buddy helping me out with that. So I am curious to see what going on with the coils.

Still praying!!!!!!!!
