Default 2000 Mazda Protege 1.6l wont stop after timing belt change

Of course, wrong tittle... Wont START !!

2000 Mazda Protege 1.6l standard
Just replaced timing belt, tensioner, idler, water pump, plugs and coil packs

I have checked the timing about 10 times before puting everything back together by rotating the engin clockwise. No stiff point and marks lining up perfectly every time.

Though when I turn the key in the ignition, the engine cranks but doesn't start.

Can't really check the sparks cause I am on my own, but seems like the spark plugs in 1 and 3 are wet with fuel and 2 and 4 are dry.

Any thoughts ?

Thanks lots

Update, I just checked the spark plugs and no sparks in 1 & 3 wich are linked by wires. And 2 & 4 which are right under the coil pack seem to fire.

Thanks

OK, got it !

I just put the crank pickup plate the wrong way because I didn't notice it had a particular way on.

all is back on, running smooth.

Thanks !!!
