First the dials will not normally move until the vehicle is started. This is to reduce the load on the battery when cranking. You need to check for spark and fuel and all of the normal things for a non-starting vehicle.

no power to the coil. how about coil trigger? the coil connector is common for a bad connection.

Welcome to FixYa.com I need you to check to see if you have spark -if yes-check fuel? we need to see where to go. Ignition or fuel??

The crank sensor

On the back of the engine at the firewall.

Sounds like a poor connection somewhere...Best time to check is when it's in no-start condition...When running, obviously whatever isn't working is (temporarily). Once you identify the system (fuel, spark etc) that's not working, check all wires and connectors for good contact and continuity.

I think you got it out of time if you take and move it around if that don't work then take it out and move the gear around and repete

Does it crank? IF it does check to see if you have spark at the plugs. If you don't have spark then the problem could be a crank sensor.
