Ok so the problem is this, the car will not start. It gets gas and spark. The only thing i did was take the distributer out because it broke. I didnt mess with the timing chain or anything, the only thing i did was replace the distributer. Any ideas?

you probably fucked up the timing when you replaced the distributor

double check that it's aligned correctly

I'm downloading the FSM right now. I just though that the distributor can go in only one way so it would be alright just to put it back in.

Alright i read the FSM manual and it sucks. I got it from zeryon or whatever. But from my understanding, do you just put the No.1 piston at TDC and put the distributor pin on the No.1? The distributor goes in only one way because it has a notch on it so i though by just throwing it in there would be fine.

Problem solved. Apparently there are several different distributor caps that number the firing order differently. Weird.
