Is it getting fuel? You're fuel pump could be shot.

I assume so, the tips of my spark plugs are wet. how do i check the fuel injection?

The first thing I would is check firing order again. Make sure the plug wires are all connected in the correct order. Short of that, re-check all of your work.

You should be able to hear the fuel pump working when the key is put in the on position. If you don't hear it hum, it may be shot...

Weren't you the one saying that your car died shortly after starting it a while back? That may have been a sign that your fuel pump was on its way out... replace the fuel filter for good measure too....
