Yes this is something that people sometimes forget or overlook and it can cause the car not to start.

make sure ur plugs are right like a backwards Z S on ur distributer

top right is 1, top left is 2 ,bottom right is 3, bottom left is 4

if that doesnt work give a couple bangs with a big wrench.....Hard....lol

so the starer works then right.?

check all the wire harness grounds. Take ur ECU out and find ur HOT wire for ur Year and model that powers the ECU one the harness clips. When u find it turn the car on and see if u get power. I think it will still send power without the ECU there. and if that doesnt work there is ur problem. Maybe Pull off the Map senser and see if it will throw a code with the accesseries on. Hope that works. Or/And Take ure cap off and put a tester to the + side of the coil see if u get power.. Good Luck
