Yes the injectors and coil packs are all connected right. I still need to try what you said though.

Keep your head up, you'll get it figured out. This **** is frustrating and takes time, don't let yourself get overwhelmed.

I re-learned the VATS last night again and security light went away but still did not start. As of right now the security is still off but the spark plugs arent getting any spark. We tested it just like thunder 550 said.

I hooked it up to the scanner and it does read RPM's, injector pulse, fuel, timing advance, and everything but spark.

Im gonna try to swap the coil packs see what that does for me. I really doubt its the coil packs though.
