That not being there should not effect spark. You had the motor out? Did you get all the PCM hooked back up under the dash?

Only reason I had those pics was I was showing off my chrome

OK in my experience with these engines there are a couple of things that kill the coils.

Coil pack is not plugged in, the connector is not tight, or there are bent pins in the connector.
Crank position sensor is not plugged in or it is bad.
Module finally gave up its ghost.

Check that stuff out and see if you can find anything.
