I am having issues with starting my car. When I try to start it, it sounds like it's firing but it just won't turn over for some reason. I know it's getting fuel because after I tried starting it, i took a whiff of the intake manifold and it smells like pure fuel. I am not sure if it is getting spark or not but I believe it is because every 10 seconds or so of me trying to crank it, it sounds like there is a backfire. Of course, i don't know if it is because im inside the car trying to start it. I know for 100% fact that the thermostat housing ground is good. I also know the main relay is good because I hear it click and I also hear the fuel pump priming. I also just got brand new ignition rotor, spark plugs, and plug wires. One thing that someone on facebook pointed out to me was that there was no CEL showing, even though there definitely should be a CEL considering that I don't have an o2 sensor plugged in. I really need to get this thing started because this is my only ride to school. Luckily im on spring break now so I have a week or so to figure it out but I need to get it figured out ASAP. Here is a video of me trying to start the car.
Thanks in advance to anyone who may have any idea of what the problem may be

 

Seems like an electrical problem. Check you spark plugs, distributor wires, distributor cap (for cracks) coil and ignitor. The coil could be weak though the continuity test may be normal. I suspect the ignitor and coil. The coil could fail if you try to crank while the spark plugs wires are disconnected.

Good luck

if this just happened out of nowhere, double check distributor plugs, and harness connection at passenger strut tower. ive had minor de-pinning in the past that i found after vomiting out of my wallet. simple first.
