At first the engine wasn't getting any fuel so I replaced the fuel pump, now its getting fuel but won't turn over. Everything is working up to the spark plugs and thats where it ends. The spark plugs are new so I don't know what else to look at.

ELECTRONIC IGNITION SYSTEM
B2200, B2600i, MPV, MX-6 & 626
Mitsubishi breakerless electronic ignition consists of an ignitor, ignition coil, pick-up coil and distributor. The control module is mounted inside the distributor with the pick-up coil assembly.
When ignition is on, ignition coil primary circuit is energized. As distributor shaft rotates, the reluctor rotates inside the stator assembly.
As armature teeth pass pegs of pick-up coil, a signal is sent to the ignitor. The ignitor then breaks the primary circuit in coil, causing a high voltage surge in coil secondary circuit required to fire spark plugs.
