I'm assuming you changed the wires with all the new parts, and seated them properly, in the right order?

I guess you could check your grounds on the coil. Perform the opti and spark test per shoebox's website, see where it fails.

As always, Shoebox has a good guide in troubleshooting through some of the ignition system: http://shbox.com/1/4th_gen_tech2.html#opti_test Have you checked the connections on the opti harness itself, that would be a good place to start.
