4.0 2009 random weak spark

Background, it dropped a valve. Pulled motor, new head and timing chains. Used otc tools to set timing. Checked and double checked I had it right. New plugs and wires. Removed injector relay and ignition fuse to crank to build oil pressure. Re installed those, cranked, missed really bad and shut off. Tried a few more times, same result. Verified fuel, stated on spark and with a tester want getting spark consistently, and sometimes not at all. Replaced crank sensor. No change, replaced plugs and wires again. No change. Replaced coil. No change. Where next. Only code it's throwing is the p0320.

I think your engine uses the 3 coils in a pack, which is fired by the Electronic Distributorless Ignition System (EDIS). Did you try replacing that?

Yes, replaced that, no change. Along with the crank sensor and the cam sensor.
