okay so this morning i was test driving my car after making an idle adjustment, and just cruising cause i hadn't really gotten a good feel for the car yet, so towards the end of the street the car started to die, and after i stopped rolling it compeletely died, which leads me to this point where i'm in my garage, trying to figure out whats going on. the car is not getting any spark whatsoever. i know its not the accual coil. what gets power to the coil packs? what else would not cause spark? i was told it could possibly be the ECU, so how could i check, for sure, that thats the problem? i've run out of ideas. i'm really frustrated, as i just got the car yesterday. any help would be greatly apriciated.
thanks, Adam
 
CEL? help me out here, im a DSM newb. i adjusted the idle by grounding out the timing port, and the #10 terminal on the diagnostic port, and using the screw on the TB, like haynes said. if i didn't get a good ground on one of the two things would that make a major difference?
