Alright guys, i truelly need some help now. Seems my truck is having quite a pickle of a problem. It's not starting. Its not getting spark from one of the coils. Yes just one. The one with the red, and the blue wires, never works. ive switched them around and always only the one with the brown tries to fire. Before you try to give me help, read this

THINGS IVE REPLACED
-New Battery
-New Alternator
-New Spark Plugs
-New Spark Wires
-Refurbished Distributor+icm
-New Rotor
-New Cap
-2 New Ignition Coils
-the condenser was switched with the relay by fuse box, no fix

Okay with that information, what the hell is going on with my truck -_-

this page may be of help, but i cant see anything that would break and not disable both.
the one with the brown wire ALWAYS fires, but the truck still wont start.
