So I'm lost on what is exactly wrong with my car now. the car cranks fine, new alt. new starter. new battery. new plugs. wires. car just wont turn over. I can get the car to start if i roll it in N and then throw it in gear, but it runs kinda rough. i dont have the slightest bit of timing on these cars. my plymouth laser on the other hand i knew everything...so if anyone could help i would appreciate it. i need this car as a DD for my new job

What is the story on the car before you bought these parts? Did it run? Did you take anything apart? Hard to help without more info.

Car ran, buddy said it sounded like my fuel pump is out...replaced the cap n rotor, alt, battery, plugs, wires, filters. im hoping thats all it is, another friend said it could be the EGR causing this problem...i can push her down the street like i said and get her to start but other than that it just wont fire up...cranks and cranks but no go.

It sound like it might have jump time, need to with timing gun, then you can also check if the neutral safety switch on the trany(standard), but on the rough issue To me it jumped time.
