Starting Issues

My car hasnt started in about a week, it will turn over but wont come on, i took out the spark plugs and noticed all 4 plugs were trailing, i have no leading. Could this be causing the problem. Im not sure how this happened because last time i changed the plugs i put 2 of each, but then i guess when i got my new engine in he put 4 trailing? Also sometimes when the key is at the "ON" position, i sometimes hear a buzzing under the UIM, whats this buzzing. and last ... o2 sensor, could this cause it not to start and how can i check that. Thanks in advance

I forget the NGK plug part#.. But once you start modding your car.
Most people put BUQ9's all the way around.. THat might be why
you think someone put 4 trailing plugs in..

So your car is turning but just not starting.
Any fumes or gas coming out the exhaust? when you try starting it??

If you haven' tried.. Put your car inlike 3rd gear and roll it..
So it will turn your rotors and then try starting.

Goodluck
