replaced heads, installed wiring incorrect on spark control module. purple and yellow never connected but the 2 wire for pass. side was connected to the driver side of module . don't figure shouldn't be able to do that! battery was about dead and went to start acted like all plug wires were wrong . put battery charger on and with ignition off as the battery was taking a charge I heard a load pop like firecracker. put wires on correctly and engine turns over with no spark. replaced spark control mod and I get no fire, cam sensor good as I get an rpm reading from scan tool while cranking 310 rpm. checked all fuses.

checked all fuses , fire cracker pop sounded like something I did in my younger years when I applied 12v to a coolant temp sensor and it exploded.
