did you check the firing order after you changed the plugs... could have the wires on wrong...

otherwise check that you have fuel and spark.

step 1
check for spark from dist to wires and from wires to plugs.

yeah, pull out a plug, put back in wire, lay on radiator support or hold to the head, and crank and look for spark.

If you do....

then check for fuel. Turn the ignition on and you should hear the fuel pump turn on and the fuel rail pressureize.

If this is good...then it could be a timing error or firing order.

Check ecu fuse and under dash fuses

Could be anything from the spark plugs all the way back to the battery..start working your way up from the battery.

These are parts of the dizzy man. The top part and the part inside of it. Just tell them that you need a cap and rotor for your car and look and replace what they gave you.

YES!
the cap and rotor are actually parts of the distributor that are notorious for going bad.

if you do that and it dosent work you can take the parts back and get a refund.

If the cap and rotor don't fix it I'd check the coil before getting a whole new dist. too...

Is the check engine light on?
