It was spitting and sputtering pretty badly and then I went to leave one day and it crank up, but I got to top of my driveway, and it cut off randomly and it will not fire anymore. One coil pack has a crack in it, but I didn’t think that would cause it to not spark at all.

Oh ya, if the ignition coil has a crack, it is not good, I would get a new one and install it.

Here is a guide to see other causes of a "no spark" condition:

I got a new well, it’s a used one, I’m about to change it out and see if that’s the problem.

What is the order? I need to put the spark plugs back on in the correct spot.

Does anyone have a diagram of the spark plug wiring? I changed the coil pack and it’s still not firing.

Here is the firing order, you may have a bad ignition module or crankshaft angle sensor. Also, check the fuses with the key on. Please go over the guide above as well. Check out the images (below).
