it shocked you when you shut the ignition off? Was the ignition (spark) pulsing while you were cranking? If not then I'd check to make sure your CAS is sending a clean signal and also check your Ignition Control module. The reason you got shocked is because the magnetic field in the coil collapsed when you shut off power to the ignition. This collapse is what sends the massive voltage surge to the spark plugs. The coil simply magnifies this surge. Normally the CAS and ICM cause this collapse everytime a cylinder fires. It sounds like yours is not doing this. It sounds like the power is constant instead of pulsing on/off like it should except when you actually kill power to the coil.

check for faulty grounds and connectors between those parts and also at the ECU, and...well throughout the entire ignition system. Is the CAS properly aligned?

I was woundering about the integrity of the wires to power your primary side. have you checked resistance and all?
