Check your plug wires. You probably have a few switched around.

With just installing headers?

Did you break off the coolant sensor?
I did this when I did my headers.

If your headers are the only component you changed out and you are not getting spark then plugs or plug wires could be the problem. You did make sure all wires to the coil and ICM are plugged in?

Easiest way to check for spark is ground a plug electrode on something metal and look for the spark. I agree with check all your plug wires.
