        check one more time
        also make sure thespark plugs are tight , and just to be sure open the oil cap and have somone crank the engine and look inside see if the camshaft is spinning
        did you connect the correct spark plug wires to the corrrect sparkplug?
        check the numbers on the wire with the sparkplug number

            I hope it's spinning, otherwise it's the timing belt,
