teg distributor issue

Last night I replaced the cap and rotor on my distributor. It started right up, better than ever. This morning- not so much. Its cranking but not starting. Ive rechecked all of the connections and firing order is correct. Im at a loss. Anyone know what else I should check...

Above the electronic trigger on some distributors, is a rotor. Sometimes the flat rotor spring slips and allows the rotor to rotate away from where it should be. Spark gets to cylinder at the wrong time; and won't do anything to make it run. If not, retrace your installation steps. Ask as you go: What is different today from last night? Good Luck.-Bob

I hate life. On top of not starting my fucking car got ripped off last night. I went down to try to get the shit to start, but no fucking tools! No fucking cd player! No fucking Subs! At least my valentine one (the second one, b/c the first one got jacked!) was locked in my glove compartment.
