The cl77's 180 degree firing ignition can be thought of as two separate ignition systems. Do you spark on one cylinder only? If you have no spark on both cylinders, then the problem is common to both systems such as the power feed to the coils. Using a test light, first verify there is power to the positive side of the coils.

My experience with this sort of tuning problem is that a lot of computer time is spent when a call can/will get things fixed a lot quicker. .................lm
