starting problems

will a bad condenser make it hard to start? i'm getting spark when i take the spark plugs out and ground them on the fender, she has been very hard to start the last few times, on monday i finally got her to start and then on tuesday she would not-and has not since. the plugs were changed not too long ago, how do i know if they're fouled? also i have new cap, rotor, coils and wires. thanks
