I've replaced, the plugs, and the plug wires are still good, it gas a half of tank of gas, the fuel pump kicks in, the car hasnt been ran for the fuel filter to be dirty, i had to replace the starter but the car still won't start, i gapped them unless they didn't gap to 0.60. should i remove them and try to gap them again?

If its cranking over and will not start-Do below to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 3/16 away from ground -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it.
