If no spark from king lead move attention towards coil etc Basically just work your way back through the ignition system until you find the problem.

If you have spark and fuel on all 4 cylinders, then you know its either a timing issue (which if it has been sat and not touched is unlikely). Check you have fuel in there, preferably new fuel not old crap. Make sure tps sensor is good condition, make sure you have all 4 lugs on bottom pulley. Theres not much else that it can be.

O yeah and make sure the firing order is correct, seen that too many times lol
