Default civic not starting after cap and rotor was installed

Recently my car (d15b7 92 civic hatch) wasn't getting spark on the 2nd cylinder so i changed spark plugs and spark plug wires not that it was starting at this point but running bad as if on 3 cylinders, after that didn't work, i replaced the cap and rotor, just did that today, and right after i installed it my car wouldn't even start, it would turn over, but it wouldn't spark, and it started to back fire, please someone help asap, this is my only mode of transportation. also if you guys think it could be the firing order please post the correct order for a d15b7, 1.5, thanks in advance.

Did you hook your coil wire back up? I didn't last time and looked stupid for about 1 min.

the ignitor or the coil in the distributor more than likely went bad. I was riding in my buddies car, we stopped at a pawn shop, cut it off and 5 minutes later it did exactly what happend to you, no start. We replaced the coil and it started right up.

The firing order is 1-3-4-2. I thats your problem, on my engine, the wires are the perfect length for whitch spark plug hole they are suposed to go in.

Cheak to see if the wires are plugged in the right order.
