I don't know what a d4 light is but could it be your starter since you had to tap it to work. Take it off and bring it to AutoZone for a bench test.

pull the valve cover and check the mechanical timing, if it's good then check compression

You said you have spark and fuel so you might need to check for injector pulse with a noid tester after checking the above. You can normally rent the tool from auto parts stores. My first guess still is that you may have jumped a tooth or two so checking mechanical timing will check that out first. I hope you didn't break the timing belt.

You can also check for stored codes.
