Default Engine go boom boom?

I finally got everything in now. It cranks over now fine, but it still doesnt start. It cranks over, and every few cranks i hear a huge BOOM. What do you guys think is up?

Timing maybe off and the boom is from unburnt fuel in the exhaust (open exhaust valve when its not supposed to be open).

Just saw the picture that sensor is useless it doesn't connect to anything besides a tester from the factory. That's not going to be causing your problem. Ok since we have figured out that your starter is fine and the engine turns over. Check for fuel,spark, and air.

It might be the ignition switch wires, i messed those up like hell. if anyone can go under their dash and snap a quick photo of the ignition wires i think i can put them back together the correct way

No, that can't be a rotor, I've seen a rotor. . . What could have caused that?

It will not start with that. Is your belt still on and in one piece? This has to be one of those weird things. I never seen one break like that. If that's the rotor I couldn't tell from the close up pictures I told him to zoom out but I guess he is working around the car and not at the computer. Good eye Brett I couldn't figure it out. BTW those side skirts looks pretty good on your car are you happy with them? I never liked them on my car that is why I sold them on ebay and you happened to get them.

Improperly installed cap will cause the rotor to contact the cap and destroying both. Take a picture of the inside of the cap and you will find out what happened.
