The COP is the black plug right above your spark plug.

You have 8 of them

no CEL or anything? do you still have the stockers that you could reinstall to see if the new COPs really are to blame?

CEL's rarely come on if its a COP problem.. and i cant put the stockers in bc i blew them all... i know for a fact its gotta do with the new COP's. it never happened with the stockers

its probably the ignition switch. I know i had the same problem one day with my 83 5.0, one of the little tumblers went bad in it and it would crank, but wouldnt run unless i held the key to a certain point. I would check the ignition cylinder/switch and see if that fixes the problem.

try taking a look at the cps (cam position sensor). may have gotten water in there. even though u don't have a cel there still might be some codes. if you don't have a tuner go to autozone and check it out.
