I checked the spark both ways and I have spark and the engine turns over but wont start. Also changed the fuel pump which was the first problem I had, the car has been sitting for 2 yrs and was running intill fuel pump went out. I checked the compression it was 160 and over 200 when wet.I also changed the camshaft senor.

If you take plug out is it wet? Have you tried squirting some fuel into TB while cranking?

If you got a steady snapping blue spark it should fire up when primed-sound like you got an ignition problem or your valve timing is off-verify it
