  1. Plugs gapped correctly?
  2. Plugs tight?
  3. Is the coil pack a cheapo Standard part? If so, try another coil pack ..
  4. Wires tight on the posts/plugs?
  5. Ignition module may have taken a dump ... might need a new one
  6. Triple check the plug routing for proper firing order

Try going here http://www.tomsttype.com/html/downloads.html Go to the bottom of the page and download the 8mb pdf on checking spark... It was too big to post here... You will be able to see if you are getting spark out of all the coil towers... Tom G.
