Default i need help with my accord

i just traded my eg for a 1994 accord ex auto f22b1
i knew it leaked oil and needed new brakes
this car ran fine i drove it for 2 days and that morning
up until we did this...



so we replaced the brakes first
then we found that it was the valve cover gasket that was leaking so we
starting replacing that and i took the plug wires out and they were so rotted they broke at the tips and i got some plires and got the rest out and we thought while were in there to replace the wires and spark plugs so
i got some duralast wires and some ngk plugs gapped them to .044 them put everything on and it wouldnt start, so i took the wires back and got some bosch wires, so we checked the firing order it was correct . i noticed that the oil had leaked into the #4 sparkplug from when it was leaking . so next we replaced the cap and button and still nothing so any ideas????

You may have crossed the spark plug wires on the distributer cap.

Have you checked if you are getting spark to the plugs?

First I would check for a spark in the wires! So when cranking have the wire close to the spark plugs but disconnected! you should hear a spark jump across! But Its probably your firing order unless when you were replacing the valve cover gasket and the spark plug o rings you pinched them!

Does it sound normal while it's cranking?

What kind of spark plugs did it have before you changed them?

Seeing has always been better than hearing. I'm not gonna ask why you didn't replace one plug at a time to ensure you don't get the lines crossed but hold the plug wire with the end somewhat close to the chassis frame and crank it, you should see the spark jump from the plug to the frame. Now;

If you see spark then you're likely crossed and have the firing order out of whack. Do you have a haynes manual? if not I would invest in one. In the mean time i will upload a diagram of the firing order for you.

If you don't see a spark I would suspect the ignition coil first. then the dizzy but then you said you've replaced the cap and everything. It could also be likely that you assembled it incorrectly. I've had continous problems with Ign coil so I always have a spare in my garage and a back up installed in the motor. Just in case
