Umm.. no spark!

Turn the ignition on and see if your getting power (12V) to the coils... This will tell you if the computer is powering them up ...

What he said. Check for 12V at the black/yellow wire at the coils with the key on. If you don't have power, then either you have a bad fuse or main relay.

The 12v at the coils does NOT come from the ECU nor does the ECU influence whether or not the coils get 12vdc. Stop it.
