Default Car wont start but turns over help please!

Ok guy's I have a 94 sc 300 5spd. I just installed a new alternator, battery and replaced the o ring on the distributor, the car ran a lil high about 1,100 rpm. Then the next day I drove 30 min from my house, cut it off then I tried to start it back up and no start, motor turned over very strong. I have fire because I checked. My guess is a bad timing belt, But it is not broke because I took off the cap and the rotor button turns around when trying to start. Help. Oh I'm doing a search on how to do a jumper to pull the codes, not sure if you can do this to a SC but that's where I'm at now any help would be greatful.

did you took the whole distributor off? if yes then make sure you turn the crank pulley to TDC then line up the marks on the distributor teeths. this happened to me a few times lol....
