Default car doesnt start..please help!

my friends car wont start...now his knock sensor doesnt work, would this effect anything? just took the motor apart because it rated 95% leakage when we did a compression test. then we fixed the problem, relapped the valves and now its 220 across the board. we hooked everything up right...the onyl thing i can think of is the knock sensor....he said soemthign about how he broke it. any help is greatly appreciated thanks

A broken knock sensor will pull a code, but shouldnt affect starting.

Check the usual. Spark, fuel, timing.
