Air, fuel, spark. You're missing one, but you haven't given us any information to help you determine which one (or ones) you're missing. There are a number of good troubleshooting trees here and elsewhere, and heaven forbid you could pick up a service manual and find one in there. Bottom line, though, is that I doubt you ******* around with your car and your car not starting are unrelated, so I'd start backtracing your steps and unfucking whatever you fucked.

I love it when people swear that they did everything right and refuse to check it and swear that it's another problem. I suspect the underlying reason is that they did the *******, so they're not smart enough to realize it's fucked.

I never said this wasnt my fault. in fact it is my fault. I didn't do something right now im asking help to fix it because i obviously cant by myself.

Although i am glad you care so much about my problems that you go so far as to call me dumb instead of trying to help it really makes me feel special.

Would suggest you obtain pictures of cams/ gears properly installed . In a nutshell ; intake cam gear E @ 12 oclock , front cam lobes pointing 9 oclock...Exhaust cam gear I @ 12 oclock , front cam lobes pointing 3 oclock.......

If i remember correctly when i did mine both cam gears are identical right? And they have a slot for exhaust cam and a slot for intake, you probably lined up the wrong lines. If you took the cam gears off for some reason you should check to make sure you put them back on right, exhaust in the E slot and intake in the I slot.
