Default Car wont start!! another typical topic but i'm stumped!

Alright, well here's the story. the car has been running great and today i threw some gsr cams in it and thats when the problems started. It would do fine until vtec hit and then it'd hesitate a little and then start to go and then hesitate some more, almost like it was misfiring. Then after driving it for about 10 minutes more it began to just misfire at every rpm and wouldn't rev past about 5k rpms. I was down the street from my house so i come home, check the cap and rotor, both are fine. then i start it again after checking the grounds and it still wont rev. go to the store and buy some new plugs just to make sure and then come home and throw them in and now it wont even start. so i check everything again including the camtiming and still no start. so about 10minutes ago i put the stock b16 cams back in and got the timing perfect again and it still won't start, tried different ecu as well, no codes.
No idea!!!!!! let me know if you have any input!

okay, timing it perfect but it's not getting spark, do ignitors or coils give warning of going out such as misfiring at high rpms.

Loose engine ground or bad distributor. Or loose rotor on the distributor.

dont buy a ignitor and coil because you cant return them if its not the problem and they are kinda expensive...i would check your wiring make sure everything is secure...if that doesnt work try to borrow a distributor from a friend or something...thats crazy tho man good luck

I have exp'ed problems like that when the alternator goes bad. After a while the tach bounces around and ****. Check to see if any lights are dimming and such. Obviously it isn't your alternator if your car is cranking like it should. Just changed the dizzy and see what happens.
