The car should only start when the clutch is disengaged. That is, unless you disabled the clutch safety switch. Remember engaged is the clutch out, disengaged is the clutch pushed in.

So on my car, if I crank (turn the key without the clutch pushed in) I get nothing. If I push in the clutch and turn the key the engine cranks.

It sounds like you're safety switch is doing its job. You just have a problem with spark or fuel. What tests did you do determine the lack of one or the other?

Re: no start, no spark help!!

Hmm plugs and wires are the cheapest things I would start off replacing. Cam angle sensor and crank sensor will also cause the car to not turn over. You said you just finished rebuilding the engine. I'm assuming you replaced the timing belt. Hopefully it didnt jump a tooth.

Re: no start, no spark help!!

Have you tried grounding out the plug wires while you turn it over to see if you indeed do have spark?
