WARNING : I like to be specific and write everything 
Hey guys i just need some advice on what to do with this problem i ran in to. The car recently went through a broken timing belt which need a valve job on the head. I did the repair myself. The car fired up when the job was done. It did take about 2 more cranks then normal to start it up. Ever since then the car has always need 2-4 more cranks then before the car needed the repair. The car ran for about 2 and a half day then when i was getting some ice cream at the store it only took about 15 mins i go back to the car and no start.
I checked for spark in the plugs and nothing. I checked by taking out the plug and putting a screw driver in the plug and cranking it. No spark. I checked the Coil for spark by the same method. No spark to the coil.
:hitler:
Then i ended up doing a compression test and when i did it i forgot to remove the fuel relay for the first cylinder i was checking and i smelt fuel so im guessing that fuel is getting into the chamber.
While doing the cylinder head change i have broke off some plastic inside the CPS or Refernce sensor located above the valve cover. So i glued it together. Not the smartest move. The car worked fine for 2 and a half days but then no start like i said in the previous paragraph.
Im not completely sure what could be the issue. I plan on checking the ohms in the sensor today. I just need some secure advice on what to check and what could be the problem that i would need to replace.
I am 17 years old and money is extremely short and this car is my ride to college and need it ASAP.
A side question how impressive is it for a 17 year old to do a complete head job himself with NO garage and limited tools in 100 degree weather? I feel accomplished to be honest. Thank You for any advice and sorry for the long reading :)
