I removed the negative battery cable while installing and cleaned the throttle body while I had it apart.

No Luck. Pulled the plug wire off and I have no spark. Double checked fuses and all the wire connections. Also, checked for codes. No Codes.

No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
