Well the only thing's I can tell you is what happened to me.
Even through it's the sec gen OPTI spark you can install it wrong because I did it by accident.
Also you might have a wire or two plug into the wrong place.
The best thing I have learned when working on the OPTI spark is to install it and run the engine for a couple of seconds to make sure everything is OK before I put the water pump on and all the other stuff.
I hope I have helped you out.
