LS wont start
Problem started off when taking off at a green light. The rpms dropped and the car shut down and hasn't started up since.
I've replaced the Distributor, I have spark, spark plug wires are in seated in their proper spots. I've also double check that to rotor is in the proper spot (compared to the previous distributor).
The car sounds like it's trying to turn on but just can't seem to.
Any help is appreciated!

agreed to all the above, also there is a ground on the thermostat housing. its a 10mm bolt make sure it has good contact and tight.

Don't forget fuel as well. Crank it, then pull a plug, check for fuel smell on the plug. As far as spark, make sure the firing order is proper when you put the new distributor on. Good luck with finding the issue!

Re: LS wont start
You saw spark come out of the wire?
You can remove a plug and that'll give off a scent of fuel if you have fuel
I would do that to each plug to make sure each cyl has fuel
If not I'd get a noid light and check the injectors are getting power
Then make sure the injectors are working
Then I would check timing as mentioned
If all that checks out and your wire order is correct
I would run a compression test!
Good luck

Thanks again for all the help, after replacing a lot of parts and still no go we took apart the motor and found that it was toast :/ unfortunate but it'll receive a new heart soon!
