Replaced upper/lower manifold gakets. Now no spark!
 
Hey. I got a little bit of a problem. I replaced upper lower intake gaskets, as well as my spark plugs and coil pack. Im getting no spark what so ever from the plugs. Im lost and any insight what to test or replace next would be greatly appreciated. Checked all my wiring and everything is connected and I have no extra bolts. Fuel pressure is reading 50-65psi while cranking. Thanks!

Defective coil pack, perhaps?

you forgot to plug something in... go over everything again

Do you have power at the coil? Just because its new does not mean its good these days...

Fixed it and drove the last two days and BAM P0174 code came back on. all that work to get the same code. ughhhhhh. Back to retracing uh new leak I suppose

did u let the battery reset? it keeps memory for so long. the recommended way around here is to disconnect battery and turn on headlight switch for like 30 seconds.

The battery was disconnected for a week while I was doing both the manifold gaskets and rebuilding my injectors yadda yadda. plus I cleared all codes with my scanner.
