Default My car is running!!
Ready for this...the screw on the firewall holding the groundwires came loose and the wires weren't touching...that's why no spark. I do however have a misfire code for #1,2,&3 now. If all 3 are misfiring, any idea what it may be? I read something about O2sensors. Car runs fine to me, but it's always had a shake when it idles? Any thoughts?

Default Does it feel like it's misfiring? Maybe those codes are just left over from before.
Clear them and see if/when they come back.

Default try swapping the coil packs around and see if the misfires change cylinders
Also, you can log your O2 readings and see if they're reasonable or not...

coil packs on a 2.8 cannot be swapped, because it is a "coil pack", a pack of ignition coils
