Bad: Coils, ECU, or Wires?

I made a thread a while back about having problems changing my Transmission so basically the back story is: Changed my Transmission after a whole bunch of trouble and stuff i finally got one in my car and once it was in, the car wouldnt start. Ok first i found a wire that wasnt connected. Now that its connected the car will crank but wont start.

Took my car to the mechanic and he checked the coils and plugs. He said plugs are ok but i'm not getting spark on my trailing coils. So luckily we drove my friends' car (Finishline) to the mechanic and he took off his coils to test them in my car same problem. Connected all the wires to the coils but the trailing ones wouldnt spark. We then put them back into finishlines car and they worked just fine.

So I have no idea whats wrong with it, its sitting at the mechanics and he said he's gonna check the ecu and wires and stuff but he hasnt called back with any results or anything new.

Any Ideas?

So that means that there is something else wrong with my car now? Sigh, my transmission broke it was running PERFECTLY before my transmission screwed up i just got a brand new engine installed and everything.

I have absolutely no clue whats going on. Even the mechanic is having a hard time with it. Any help or advice would be helpful.
