Did you check all the plugs or just one? It's also possible the parts store sold you a bad coil pack.

Did you check the battery cables?

crank position sensor among others

Did the vehicle run before you changed the coil pack? If not look at your crank position sensor. Check it by testing your injector pulse. This will elminate the crank sensor and ecu beacuse they fire the coil and your injector pulse. Make sure your getting power to the coil pack. It goes through the fuse block and the ignition switch then to the coil. If i'm not mistaken there is a wire that always has power to the coil aswell.
