ShadowMan is an unknown quantity at this point
One way to find out if your getting spark and this is how I do it, is to:
1. Find a friend
2. Pull fuel pump fuse
3. Pull a coil out but leave it plugged in, insert a spark plug into coil, hold it close to bare metal on the car but don't touch it to the car, have friend turn car over like he's trying to start it, and watch for the spark.
It's the best way I've found to make sure spark plugs are firing. If you already knew this then my bad, if not then you learned something new. It just sucks because you need a pal and they are not always around. Unless you have a remote start, then you can be your own best friend and tell yourself jokes while you work and get pissed at yourself when you fuck something up.
