Default My H22A wont stay running...

Hey guys name's Rene, heres the story before my car was runing fine untill the alternator died on me, I replace it with a brand new one and then the problem happened. The car wont stay runing for more then 3sec. if I start it and give it a little gas like smoke comes out and it has a strong smell of gas like if maybe one or more of the cylinders arent firing. Im removing the spark plugs and going to replace with new ones(currently using BKR7E-11) but ive noticed that on the tip of the spark plug where it connects to the spark plug wire all of them have like a white dust on them just like how it happens on the battery, those any one know if thats bad??? and ive also noticed that on the other end of the spark plug where it goes to the motor it had gas liguid on them, wich could mean that some cylinders are defenetly not firing, If that does not work im thinking of replacing the dizzy(distributor) and the spark plug wires, if none of that works does any one have any suggestions???? Does any one know what how to check wich cylinders arent firing??? Thanx for your help.

My set up:

Fully Built(sleeved, piston, rods, cams ect...) H22a
T-70 turbo
After market intake manifold
InlinePro 3 Bar map sensor
Hondata S300
Duel Stage boost controller
Tial WG and BOV
Stock fuel regulator(have not connected the external one yet)
255 fuel pump(have not connected aeromotive external one yet)
Integra TypeR wire Harnness
Resistor Box
Big front mount Intercooler

Put a spark plug in the spark wire, hold it to ground and crank and wait to see a spark. Those that don't, aren't.

you sure you connected the alternator right? it sounds like you have a bad ground or not enough power. This happened to me and i found a loose wire on one of the grounds.

Well like I the car was working fine untill the alternator went bad on me, I didnt make any changes to the wiring! I mean to chande the alternator is just unplug and plug the new on in and tighten it the belt, all the gorunds are still there I have 3 grounds. The car turns on for like 3 seconds if I give it a lil gas it would just do some crazy back fire and a really strong gas smell. But thanx for that keep it coming any help is welcome.
