Question Help me plz, Car wont start

first of all wuddup guys im pretty much a newbie went from an integra to a 2003 evo. Anyways i have a big problem i bought my car like 4 months ago and doesnt wanna start! Ppl were telling me to check the cam angle sensor, check for loose connection, ect.. when the problem first happened i was able to start the car, after messin with it, and sure enough it would start., but it would be fine for a couple of days then it would happen again. I would pretty much repeat the process untill i got tired of it.lol. anyways when it would start i noticed allot of back pressure from the hose connected to the throttle body,it would whiplash like no other,(thinkin it could be the stock bypass valve not opening up all the way) juss a thought. Now ppl are sayin check the wastegate??? ummmmm..(dumb founded) ii have no clue. So someone pls help me i need a ride to go to work i hate relying on ppl to pick me up.

o yea i forgot to mention that it dosent do the clicky click noise, it`ll fire up but wont turn over...i think thats the right term. anyways like i said can someone pls help me im dyin over here without a car. So any advice or suggestions would really help Thanks
Tony

Take it to the shop before u really screw it up. If u dont have the cash wait till u do. Sorry to be kinda hard but I know from experience I have tried to fix stuff that I didnt have a clue what I was doing and it ended up costing me alot more than it would have. Good luck man.

make sure every fuel injector connection is well seated.... your problem could be simple as the block not getting the fuel

If you are not sure, Please get at least a mitsu tech/shop to look at it. Do not go around poking at stuff to see if it helps.

I would say check for fuel injector pulse and spark. Even compression if it spins quickly.How many miles on the car??

im having the same problem pretty much... it will just crank, but wont turn over.

Mods-
TBE, ETS intake, tune...

i checked the hoses and vacuum lines... didnt work. Made sure MAF was connected... didnt work. Changed Fuel pump... didnt work. I disconnected the spark splug, but left it connected to the coil pack/wire and cranked it to see if there was a spark. Nothing no spark, so im thinking its either the spark plugs are bad, coil packs, or spark plug wires.

when you pulled out the spark plug and cranked it to see if it ignited, did you ground it?
