problems setting timing
i cann't get my damn timing set 
car is a 1.6, brand new NGK plugs and wires. warmed it up, turned it off, jumped TEN and GND, started the car back up. with the light on #1 or #4, you cant see the timing mark on the pulley at all. with the timing light on #2 or #3, it is close to where it should be, but not close enough. with the CAS turned clockwise all the way if you standing in front of the car it will be a 10 BTDC. but the car doesnt want to rev at all. i have no clue whats going on, any idea? and there is NO CEL on.
firing order is like this if you standing in front of the car
3 2 1 4 coil pack
4 engine
3

physically rotate the crank by hand. 21mm on pulley.
turn until the timing mark on the pulley reaches TDC.
remove the spark plug from #1 and see if the piston is in fact TDC.
