87 prelude Si won't start after wire, rotor, dizzy cap change

Hi I put on some new wires, dizzy cap, ignition rotor on my 87 prelude si manual transmission. Now it won't start, and the hazards are on for some reason. It started fine before, so i figured it was the new parts. I put the old ones on but still no start.
I get crank and fuel but no start
Could it be the battery, or the firing order I might have mixed up
Is this the order
dizzy cap; ignition coil 4213
engine; 1234
Thanks for any help

i'm thinking firing order is messed up. but i don't have anything to help ya.

actually, something that may help; number one piston is next to timing belt, then number 4 is next to dizzy. don't know if you have it laid out like that or not.
