Are you getting fire to the plugs?

Also have you checked to see if you are getting fuel up to the fuel rails?

Double check you firing order. You either have some wires crossed to you jumped a tooth on the timing chain.

Let me understand your retarded English. The car ran fine until you changed the plugs, cap and distributor?

Now she cranks, attempts to fire, but wont run....seems pretty obvious. You messed something up...wires are crossed is my guess. Go check a firing diagram and fix it.

Legal disclaimer #1...dude, Ive done this before..and Im not proud to admit on a 4 cylinder. Its a very easy mistake to make.

Legal disclaimer #2....if I offended you with my 'retarded' comment....get over it. 8*)

Legal disclaimer # 3... i have also done this before on a TBI 454. had one hole side out of order. Some how the truck still ran decent just kept running very rich.
