Default Electrical Connundrum Continues

Well, a couple weeks back I took the Vette toa friend's house and we reprogrammed the computer for larger injectors. Turns out my problem wasn't an injector issue at all (though I still kinda needed larger injectors) but coil packs 2 and 4 not firing.

It's not the packs, the plugs or the harness on the coil pack bracket. All of these were exchaged for new ones from a working car and the problem was the same.

I tested the continuty of the inignition control signal lead from the pcm to the connector for the coil packs. It's fine. I'm a little mystified. . .

Here's the diagram. Any idea on what to check next. I suck (extra) at electrical. I suppose it could be the wires, now that I think about it, but I find that remarkably unlikely since they are essentially new and worked fine before. [Click on the pic for larger version.]

Try switching the wires / ciols with others from working cyls and see if the miss fire moves with them. OBD 2 system ? I could come by Sunday morning ?

It's two cylinders, so I'm not sure I'd be able to tell if it just moved from 2 & 4 to other cylinders.

It is an ODBII sys, but nothing came up on codes with his EFI Live tuning software. A Tech II would be able to read if it's throwing anything at all.

Sunday morning would be swell.

Thanks again Paul.

Well, the reason it was an electrical connundrum is because it's (probably) not electrical. Cylinders 2,4 were firing with Paul's tester. But the intake spring on cylinder 6 was broke good, real good.
