Did you reverse the booster cables?
Read the first several sentencees of mcgarvey's suggesttion and follow them. Don't skip over the parts you don't like.
FWIW, the coil gets its power via a fuse in the engine compartment fusebox labeled IGNITION/(DRL). This fuse is supplied by the IGN RELAY in the I/P fusepanel. This relay should energize in RUN. This same fuse supplioes the PCM POWER relay. If the CEL does not come on during bulb proveout, it is a strong indication that this circuit is at fault.
