Default Car Wont Start

I recently replaced the clutch and put everything back together and started the car in my garage, it ran fine so i pushed it out cause i needed the room in my garage and now it wont start. I havent really touched anything that has to do with the cam sensor so i dont think its that and i know i am getting fuel. I just replaced the spark plugs and wires and still nothing. Im thinking maybe a loose ground or a vacuum hose is in the wrong place. Let me know what you think and if anyone has a picture of where all the vacuum hoses go that would be cool cause i cant find one. Thanks.

Nice.

If you really want help wer'e going to need to know a bit more than it started, I rolled it out and it won't start.

Wich is really all that you have said.

Be more speceific. You're getting fuel.
Does it crank? What's it sound like when it does?

Have you checked the battery or the fuses.
Was the gas in it old. Could the gas tank had condensation form wich would keep it from starting? Dramatic weather changes?

Anything.

yes you need to give us some more info. before/after you do that check connectors, make sure they arent loose. heres a few more to check while youre at it

do a spark test, try spraying some starter fluid in the intake.

It still cranks and is getting fuel but the fuel is like 6 months old, the thing is that it was running in my garage cause i started and ran it 4 times but after i rolled it out it wouldnt start again. i get power to everything else it just seems like its not getting the spark. Ive also tried spraying starter fluid in the intake.

well its dark here so i cant work anymore but i know everthing is connected, ill have to check my igniter tomorrow but do you think it could be related to a bad ground. and if you could maybe give a link to a diagram of all the ground locations that would be cool. ill get back to you tomorrow after ive checked the igniter and coil.

ive searched for a diagram for grounds but with no luck. in my search however i located the location of the important grounds:

1. from intake manifold to battery
2. from body to battery (near fuse box)
3. from transmission to body

i also believe there is one from the head on exhaust side to fire wall.

This could be as simple as a can of heat in the gas tank.

Your tank has a drain plug. Get rid of as much of the old gas as you can. Save it for your mower.

Or add two cans of HEAT, shake the car around a bit and give it 15 to 20 minutes and see if she fires.

I think you have old, low grade gas gone bad.
Just a guess.

alright i now know why it doesnt start but now i need to know why it isnt getting any spark. it has new plugs and wires and everything is connected. ive checked the power going to the coil pack and it is fine so that may be the problem. anyone know the resistance for the coil pack offhand.
