I haven't checked everything yet with a multimeter, but the damn thing won't turn over. The starter gets everything moving ( I saw the cam gears spinning) but it just won't spark. I checked all my spark plugs, they look okay, and the distributor cap looks fine too. It was driving just a matter of hours before that. Was throwing a code 43 but that was because the O2 sensor got a little disconnected. So I have battery charge, all my lights work, but it just won't ignite. Fuel is going in too. And no its not flooded, I left it over night. Same thing. Will roll, but just won't turn over.
Any suggestions before I purchase a new distributor and starter(Its starting to slip now from all the turn over tries)?

Before you shell out your money for a distributor. Pull a plug wire at the spark plug and insert a #2 phillips head screw driver into the plug wire. Hold the metal part of the screw driver about.040 inches from a well grounded metal part of the engine, crank the motor and see if you are getting spark. It may save you some money.
