rip it out its not that difficult

Either the linkage or the synchro ring has shot... mine has the same issue.

most first remove the dash bulb are behind it

I know exactly what happened. Look at the shifter linkage at the transmission. It's under the hood, close to the firewall, directly forward of the shifter knob. There's a black plastic bushing or connecting piece which broke and became separated from a 5-6mm diameter steel rod. You will see it clearly if you look under the hood while someone else moves the shifter knob around from inside the car. Buy a small metal hose clamp (~1 inch diameter or less, coolant hose clamp, same size as the clamp on the coolant reservoir). Slide it over the steel rod, push the rod back into the broken plastic piece firmly, and slide the clamp over the broken plastic part, and tighten it up. You should have all 5 gears back. It happened to my 1997 900SE, and this improvised repair has been holding up fine for two years now. Good Luck.Masa

Based on the information you have provided your problem is one of two things
1.Bad fuel pump -to check this have the fuel pressure tested if above 40psi you should be able to start the vehicle. (you can borrow/rent a fuel pressure tester at an auto parts store)
2.Bad crank and cam sensors -these are what tell the injectors to fire, so if you have good fuel pressure to the injectors but still no start I would replace both the crank and cam sensors.

Check battery cable connections. Check battery relay and fuses if battery is charged and connected correctly and tightly

I wouldn't think CPS if you are getting a good blue healthy spark. Check your injector circuit with a test light: Pull off one injector connector, ground the test light, and probe the injector connector with key ON. If your injector drive circuit is working, one of the terminals on the injector connector should have a steady light. Now check the injector ground circuit: move the test light lead to the positive battery post, and probe the injector terminal that did not light the test light, while someone cranks the car over. If ground is working, you should have a blinking light, meaning the computer is properly groundind the injector to pulse. If both tests are good, the injector circuit is working properly. The drive circuit is routed through the ignition switch, and the ground circuit goes into the computer.

First of all did you replace the hole distrubuter or just the cap. If just the cap go back and recheck your wireing. If replaced the hole dist, you may be off 180 deg, good luck on it.
