Another no start thread

Ok, here's the short story. I replaced the radiator on Tuesday night. One of the bleed screws did end up pissing on the opti because I wasn't paying attention. The next day the car flat out died on me about 10miles down the road. I tried to start it, but it would only fire once every few seconds. I ended up getting it towed home. Tonight I checked for fuel and spark. There's pressure at the rails, the injectors are firing, and there's spark coming out of the coil to the opti. However, I'm not getting spark out of the opti. I've checked the #1 cylinder so far. The car doesn't fire at all. It doesn't make sense to me that spark is going into the opti, but not out. Any thoughts?

If spark goes to opti, but not out...wouldn't that lead you to believe it's the opti? Maybe you should have let it sit longer after coolant spilled on it - wait a couple days, see if it dries out..

Yes it does lead me to believe it's the opti. It's just weird because at that stage in the ignition it's just a cap and rotor. The opti has <10k miles on it too. Thanks for the reply.
