Exclamation car wont start

when i turn the key the starter turns the motor but it doesnt turn over
its a d15b2
its has a new distributor cap and main relay
I can smell fuel....so i know im getting fuel or at least i think
i pulled the #1 wire and get a spark every 4 or so revolutions
all the grounds are good except for the tranny to chassis
?

Do you see a check engine light with the ignition on? Double check the fuses under the hood. Try unplugging your map sensor and try starting it.

Would you be willing to do a JDM D15B swap? I almost have all the parts but I don't have the resources to do it myself!
