Default new plugs, wires, cap, rotor = wont start (civic)

replaced them all. didn't move the dizzy at all. i checked and all the plugs are sparking. it actually fired up once but it felt like it was only running on one or two cylinders, it was shaking a lot. cant get it to start after that.

double checked all wire connections and placement on the cap, using service manual. could this be a timing issue? but i didnt move the dizzy. thoughts? ideas?

i dont really feel like riding my motorcycle to work in the rain.

Do you have the firing order correct?

1324, clockwise looking at the distributor?

Sorry, your correct... 1342 - its been a long day.

As long as your motor isn't "pinging" your timing should be okay. good luck!
