Car wont start

Just finished installin my tsp 233/239 cam. Had the car on ramps and it fired off fine 3-4 times (after it died several times).Then with the car off, we pushed the car off the ramps and then tried to start it on level ground and it would not start, it will turn over but not fire and it smelled like gas, like i had flooded the engine. What would cause this to happen?

O yeah the dots are perfect. I checked all the coil packs, but will check again, my gas needle is sitting on E so I might just be out of gas? Who knows will try again tomorrow.

Check all your spark plugs, wires and coil packs. Make sure they are installed right. Hopefully it just needs gas!!!

Man I feel stupid, but relieved. I had forgotten to plug in the sensor by the first spark plug on the drivers side. Now just have to wait to get my tune and I am good to go.
