What do your plugs look like? If you have fuel, compression and the spark you should have some firing taking place.

That is what I was gonna say. 'IF' timing wasn't done properly and you attempted to start the motor you can bend valves. Even turning it over by hand can bend a valve.

Do a compression test.

Only firing I'm really getting is back firing and the plugs that are in it are black as night. Have to buy some this weekend.

Surely this is a typo and you meant .022

Bingo, if the plugs are black, they are fouled. Gap new ones at .024.

Here's another question i bought Ngk laser iridium plugs they run decent in my car. Then I tried some cheap plugs and my car under boost would back fire bad at about 3k rpms when I took them out they were black also after being in the car for a day. So then I put the old Ngks back in and it ran fine. So I'll try these plugs and see what happens if it fires I'll be happy!

Okay gapped the new plugs and put them in and still no fire up I just don't know what to do now kind of sucks. I did notice when changing the plugs out all of them were wet with fuel but one. Kind of struck me as odd. All the other times I took the plugs out after cranking it all of them were wet now all of a sudden just 3.

Take a picture of everything lined up. Make sure everything is connected and in-tact down below and in the engine bay. Do a compression test and let us know your results. We are not there to see the vehicle so a video and/or pictures will help.

Or you could take it to a specialist shop and see if they can show you how to fix it. Doing things by your self is great I do it to ( and yes I have my own problems ) but you have to know when to get pro help that way you can get back to driving your car. ( just my opinion take it as you will )

For the second time. Did you do a compression test?

What fuel are you running?

No compression equals no start up. I would do a compression check on all the cylinders. I am willing to bet cylinder #3 is the culprit. Just my 2 cents

What do I do if there's no compression? And I'm running 93 octane.
