Unhappy Nothing on the trailing coil?

After building my car all winter and just wraping things up, today i figured was the day to start it.

-Microtech
-stock coils

This moring i put my base map on it and started it right up, everything was fine, Oil pressure was great, everything was good. let it run for a couple mins if that then shut it off b/c i don't have my radiator hooked up. so ive started it a few times threw out the day and it was all good. I drive it around back to wash my engine bay and give the car a good bath. After it was all washed i let it dry for idk 3 hours or so and went to try and start it and all it did was crank and maybe every 3-5 rotations it would hit a little. Well i narrowed it down to im not getting any spark on my TRAILING side. LEADING side is good it lite me up pretty hard lol. nothing is working on the "T" side. I put another coil in that i know was good and nothing. Only option is Microtech or the wiring. Am i missing somthing? i know the wiring has to be good theres nothing that could be wrong about it. i have my coils on the inside of my car on the tranny tunnel.

You wont get trailing spark on crank and its not the reason your car is not starting.

Put a brand new set of plugs in it and it will start. And get it tuned so it dosnt foul another set of plugs. Trailing leads will work once car is running.
