hows the motor run? if the trailing is getting power so should the leading are you checking the right wire the g/y wire. Im pretty sure it only gets power when the ecu puts out power when the ignition should be firing. I thought i would be ground controlled but the wiring harness looks like that ecu sends power from pin V 2nd from the left on the bigger connector from the fornt harness and its grounded through b/y...

my bad no from a second look...jeeze the wiring harness is a little confusing... well anyway i believe it is ground controlled. g/y goes to the ecu and grounds when needed to be fired. B/Y is going to be your power and should be constant, well it recieves power from the main relay so whenever that is energized it will have power. koeo...if the trailing has power the leading should have power also. if not there doesnt seem to be any fuses so you will have to dig back into the harness looking for a break... may want to try and see if there is continuity between the B/Y and main relay before tearing up the harness

Only no power to the leading? How are you testing this?
You should be checking for 12V at the black/yellow wire with the key set to IGN.
If you have 12V there, then check the + connection on the coil. You should also have 12V present with the key on IGN.
If you are missing 12V from the black/yellow, the problem is with the EGI fuse or main relay.

i didnt want to go get my ohm meter... i was in my second garage.. so i just hooked up a timming light to the wires... put it on my leading wires turned it over and no light. than put it on my trailer wires.. and i get light.. now its the next day i have sun light iam going in with the ohm meter to see whats up.

well both recieve power from the main relay. thats what makes it confusing to have power at one and not the other. The wiring diaghram showes them having seperate branches in parallel. so there is a possiblity that one may have power and not the other. which would mean somewhere from the mainrelay to the connection theres a break in the line. Quite unusual unless some mouse got hungry. you were check with the key on right? and what tested the b/y wires at the trailing?

i tested with a timing light. also the trailing plugs dont get flooded the leading do so thats another indication i would assume iam going out there right now to check with an ohm meter where and where not iam gettiing a 12v source

Pull the CAS from the engine and spin it manually with the key on IGN. The leading coil should spark (do NOT use a timing light to test for spark) as long as you are rotating the CAS. If not, then you will need a scope to do further troubleshooting without swapping parts around.

I was over at the house looking at the car and we used a spare CAS to test for spark. We got nothing. I'm assuming that the CAS we used was fragged or something. I'm almost willing to bet that there's probably some sort of break in the harness somewhere or something.
I spoke with Icemark and Karack over the phone about this particular issue and all three of us find it bizzare that the leading coil would spark 3 times then go dead on cranking.
I'm stumped.

Correct.
All ignition channels will be fired when you spin the CAS. And if you open the AFM slightly then the fuel pump will run and injectors will fire as well.
