Car won't start

Help!!! It was tipping it down with rain and all my lights came on went off and the car stalled. I have a little handheld Scan Tool and it came up with P0300 detected Misfire in Cylinders. I have a Plasma Booster on the Ignition Coil Pack so I took that off. Took off the UNI Q and tried cranking the engine over again. The SES light started flashing at me so I turned it off and red the car again. I have 2 codes come up this time. P2301 Ignition Coil A Control Circuit High and P2304 Ignition Coil B Control Circuit High. These are the only 2 codes I get now. I had a Screamon Deamon Coil pack on, I replaced it with the stock unit. I had Nology Hotwires on it, I replaced them back to my previous leads. The car sounds like it wants to turn over but doesn't. I have checked all the fuses to see if any had blown but they don't seem to be. Could my computer be blown?? Please help if you can.

The car does not turn over?? Does it crank? If it cranks it is turning over. Do you mean firing? Have you checked for fuel and have you checked plugs to see if they are wet or dry?

Well my ECU Blew up!! So that is the reason why it won't start. To anyone that is running a Plasma Booster, TAKE IT OFF. To anyone that is running a Screamin Deamon Coil Pack, TAKE IT OFF and to any one that is running Nology Hot Wires, TAKE THEM OFF. This combination is too much for the ECU to Handle and blows the Capacitors apart on the ECU Board!! Mine was actually melted. The Factory Standard Coil Pack is fine and a good set of plug wires is all you need. Learn from my mistake as it is a very expensive one!!
