After you test for spark ^^ and pull the spark plugs, are they wet with fuel?

If YES to both of those tests then look into your spark timing. Your distributor could have rotated and the engine fell out of time. Not likely but worth investigating if u have both spark and fuel... You can easily test for spark at the coil by unplugging the middle boot on the dist cap (from the coil) and holding it near a ground point during cranking. You should get lots of spark...

I pulled the plugs and they spark when cranking...I could check the CAS but no error code was displayed...and how could I correct the timing on the motor? You have to line up the notches on the crank pulley with some mark but I do not know where that mark is...or is there a better way to adjust timing?
