I would be worried that there was a broken wire going to the coil. I'm not familiar with the second gen coils, but I assume there's power, or ground, or something that can take out the coil. I would run it briefly as is, and make sure it's still OK, then put the plugs you just took out in, and run it again. I would make every effort not to touch any wiring other than the plug wires.

It does seem hard to believe that the plugs could both be bad, unless maybe they missed you, and died of loneliness :-) BTW, I know you're short on time in town, and I think I have one new set of plugs at the hanger.
