Why won't my car start?

Asked by Freddie Jul 17, 2020 at 02:45 PM about the 1998 Pontiac Grand Am

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I changed my plugs and coil under the intake because
it was skipping. After I put it back together and tried it,
it backfired and wouldn't start. Now it just spins and
spins. The injectors are firing it has plenty of fuel
pressure. It just won't crank. It has a 2.4

Double check that the spark plug leads are connected in the proper firing order.
