cranks but no start?

ok i my car is cranking like and the starters engaging, i can even watch my oil pressure rise as i keep the starter goin...and i looked into my TB and saw fuel on the valves..so does that mean it has to be spark? if so how exactly do i test it?

also i was just haveing difficulties with starting it but it wouldnt even crank..i wiggled around the wire underneath my steering wheel and it started..then 5 hours later it cranking but not starting? could it be the starter enable relay or somthin to that effect?

I guess that you mean the engine is turning over but not cranking.
