and it starts to smell like gas really bad...so i take the msd dizzy cap off and find the pos. wire running to the blaster 2 coil loose...so i fix it and put the cap back on...then i try to start my car and it turns over but won't start...then when i turn the key off...after about 2 seconds, air shoots out of my TB and it sounds like a blow off valve...lol...so i take the plugs out and they got gas on them. so i let them dry off and then plug in directly into the spark plug wires and touch a ground while my cousin turn over the car...and no spark...what could be wrong with it? its a 95 b18b1
one thing i've learned, always start simple... fuse
When your wire came out on the dizzy it probably shorted a fuse out, run through and check all your fuses... dont forget the ones in the engine bay as well as the drivers side panel.

it's not getting spark
it's not getting spark
msd == headache
Check spark Directly from the pack,
It probably just went, get a replacement stock coil.
Usually there won't be signs, I had an MSD pack,
and a stock coil die out of nowhere, with no prior signs of wear.

replacing the Internal coil is really simple, I can probably take pics,
One of a dizzy that had an external and one with an internal,
All you do is plug a wire or two in and thats all.

The first time mine went I just got a used coilpack,
and then the 2nd time I had an obd2 dizzy,
So I just swapped the pack from that to my old dizzy shell,
But if the coilpack is cheap enough, just buy it from any parts store.
