Does it have spark? Good compression? Timing belt off? Everything plugged in?
-
yes. If you are standing in front of the car the order from left to right should be 4-3-2-1.
checking compression at this point would be pretty important. setting the cam gear off by a couple teeth will cause you trouble. A compression test will tell you if you are off. If you find out that you are off then fix it and still don't get compression you may have bent the valves.
Also, quadruple-check your spark plug wires IF you happened to take them off the distributor during the job. I always found a way to screw that up. Firing order should be 1-3-4-2. The rotor runs clockwise and #1 pin should be located at the upper-left for SOHC motors, otherwise, it's lower left I believe.
