Unhappy Firing problems this time...

hello ppl. im really pissed cuz i just blew 100 bucks on a new starter yesterday and my car still wont fire for ****! I even had my dad push my car with his truck and still no go...I cleaned the spark plugs 2day and nuttin still same thing. i did every damn unflooding trick and nutting. when i go to crank my car my rpm gauge doesnt move for ****. 2 weeks ago i bought the ingnition coils and it solved the problem for about a week then my starter was bad so i bought that. i did a search and im gonna take the L1 plugs out, ground them and check for spark is there any other test i can do to check for spark? plz some1 help

you mean the leading plugs.. the L1 plug is the front rotor leading plug..
Easiest way to check for spark is to sit plugs on top of the throttle body. You can see that from inside the car.
Are you sure that you don't have a bad/dead battery or loose terminals?
