no
just finished putting the car back together and there is no spark..... I tried everything and nothing.... I plugged in most of the ****, fuel pump runs, starter works and interior lights are on, but nothing. I havent plugged in the alternator yet, and the coils arent bolted in yet, but they are plugged in..... any Ideas???

Whip out a meter & start troubleshooting:
1) main relay (does it click?)
2) 40A EGI fuse (easy enough)
3) 12v at the black/yellow wire at the leading ignitor/coil connector
4) .8v timing signal at the green/yellow wire, same connector
5) good metal-to-metal ground between the coil pack & the chassis
6) CAS input signals to the ECU
7) good plug grounds on the engine (clean threads)

I would advocate checking the ECU first to see if its coming online...

Ok it was none of that... I had forgotten one of the harness grounds and sure enough as soon as I put it, I saw spart... I guess I was just impatient and just paranoid that something wasnt working....
Thanks for all your help...

Just for "live and learn", which ground?
The ignition system is not grounded through a wire (except the one with the capacitor), that's why I'm asking...
