I'm not sure about this, but there are 4 bolts holding down the coil pack and one of them secures the condenser. Check that the condenser is on one of these bolts and plugged in. I think this is why you are getting shocked. The condenser absorbs residual voltage after the spark plug fires. I'm no expert because if I was I'd be doing this for a living instead of posting on the automotive forum. Just check it out and see.
