1998 Plymouth Breeze will not start

I bought a 98 Plymouth breeze sohc for $250 from a friend he had it in the shop and they broke the alt. To engine mount so he drove it home and parked it. I charged the battery up and tried to start. It turns over but will not start running it back fires through the intake and exhaust. I have replaced wires and checked the plugs. After resetting the timing is there any other things I need to do before it will start
