Cap n rotor replacement gone wrong 98 protege

Having no spark during cranking is a major clue. Good for you for discovering that. Since it cranks ok, the battery must be ok. Have you checked all the fuses? If not, that’s what to do next. Especially the ones for the ignition circuit. Some may be in the engine compartment, some in the passenger compartment.

You won’t get a spark if the computer thinks the engine isn’t rotating, which is determined by the crank position sensor and the cam position sensor. It’s possible you knocked one of those sensors from its position, and now it is too far from the thing it is supposed to sense. The crank sensor is located near the crank pulley, so you probably didn’t move that one. But the camshaft one is either inside or near the distributor, so maybe you nudged that one out of position or damaged it somehow. There’s probably a fairly simple test to verify whether the camshaft position sensor is working or not, by removing the distributor & probing some test point as you turn the distributor by hand.

You’ve tried removing and re-connecting the electrical plugs that go to the distributor, right?
