Default Replaced tie rods and atts fluid- now no start

So all I did was replace the outer tie rod ends and atts fluid. Finished up the work and started the car. It started and ran poorly, sputtered off within 5 sec. It won't start at all now.

Got fuel- fuel pump priming, and injectors getting signal.
Got spark
Timing is perfect

Any ideas?

Any CEL's you can pull? Only thing I can think of is if somehow you knocked a wire or sensor loose while you were down around the ATTS unit.

No cel's. I can't imagine what sensor what cause the car to not start. It did start, but then sputtered off.

do you see the Immobilzier key blinking when you try to start your car?

Immobilizer light turns off after two seconds like it should. It's not that.

Can the coil be bad, and still produce spark. The helms resistance says that the range should be .64-.78ohm. I'm getting .4.

thats on the primary side of the coil right ? are the secondary windings within spec also ?

A friend on mine(acura integra) just had a coil that was about 1kohms low on the secondary. The car just died on him while driving and wouldnt restart. When we checked the resistance we at first werent sure if that would be it because the spec was like 12k -15ohms and we were at like 11k or something. And it turned out to be the coil that fixed it, runs perfect now.

Secondary resistance is right in the middle of spec. Primary resistance is the one that's low.
