it has the three necessary but it won't start
 
My 86 gxl won't start, I checked spark, fuel, and compression and they're all good. Obviously if all three of these are there then it should run, but it doesn't. What else could be wrong?

At first I thought I messed up the ignition timing because I replaced my belts and plug wires over the weekend. I checked the wires and I had them connected correctly, but I had the wrong wires hooked up to each coil/plug. So I fixed it and it still didn't work. Then I thought maybe I accidentally moved the rotors when I was putting the belts on but I thought about it and wouldn't the ECM/crank sensor acount for that movement?

There was also a lot of oil and fuel on my plugs when I checked them so I thought maybe I flooded it. When I did what the owners manual said to do it didn't help.

Can anyone help me?

what happens when you try and start it? have you tried the unflooding procedure? tried push starting it?

I think one of the power strokes out of the three for both rotors fires but the rest of it is just cranking.

I tried to unflood but not push starting. Do you think that would help?

wait maybe I should've said I have automatic, so it can't be push started >.<
