Double check ALL your connections to the starter. Does it crank at all and not turn over? Have you checked fuses at all?

fuses are all good, it was cranking, but now i think the starter went bad from plenty of attempts...i try jumpin it, tryed starting fluid, its getting spark (little flame in the throttle body lol) i dont know what to do, this car never gave me a hard time starting up before, just leaked alot of oil

also even if the starter was bad ( i need to hit it a few times) wouldnt it still start from the extra juice from the jump

it comes close to starting, sometimes i hear a weird quite burble sound from the engine

You set the timing right? Getting fuel pressure?

update

swapped out the camshaft sensor with an extra i had, it wasnt it
i have a feeling it may be the crankshaft sensor, it went before, so i put a used one in
if i recall right, that cost about $100-$120 right?

anything else it could be, i think if it WAS the timing, it would still start, but it would either die out or run like crap
