1 and 4 are the furthest away 2 and 3 are closest to the timing belt and fuel pump bad no sound coming from it when i turn the key overYou said it backfired, so I'll assume you have spark. Do you know if the Engine Control Unit is the original one? Have you tried swapping the plug wires from coil to coil? The Cam Angle Sensor you have puts out a signal that is inverted compared to the one that was originally equipped on the 95-96 turbo cars. That causes the injector and coil signals to be out of order. The injectors aren't a huge deal right now, but the coils are.

Now, if it is indeed a 1G CAS, you also have the variable of whether base ignition timing is correct, since those sensors are adjustable. We can get into that if need be, but try swapping the plug wires first. Cylinder 1 (closest to timing belt) and cylinder 4 share a coil, 2&3 share the other. Swap all 4 of the plug wires to the coil they are not currently connected to. What happens?

If all that checks out, I'd make sure your coolant temperature sensor is plugged in all the way and the prong on the sensor itself isn't loose. It's the single wire sensor right below your radiator cap. If it's faulty that could cause it to crank, no start, and give slight back fires.
Ok so how do you know if its a 1g or 2gThe single wire sensor (post #38 in below link) is for the temperature gauge, not the ECU. It will not affect cranking, starting, or normal operating conditions in the least. The ECT sensor you are referring to is post #39 here: 2g Engine Bay Electrical Connections.
