Not getting any ground to coil packs

The ground wires that go to my coil packs are not working. I tested it with a test light and I have my Hot wires working great but not ground.

Any one know where these wires run to first. I checked my relays they seem to be fine.

Your not looking at the wiring diagrams right.

The lead and trail coil assy's get their ground from the body of the coil/ignitor assy being attached to the chassis.

Unbolt a coil assy and rest it on a rag and you won't be able to start the car.

The single wire, bullet connector at the coil assy is NOT a ground wire. It's a diagnostic plug for a rpm meter etc/whatever. If you ground that wire, you have scrogged the car.
