put new distributor cap and rotor button on 89 camaro rs 5.0 throttle body and went to crank it cranked up fine but was idling rough cause of a crossed wire. Shut it off fixed the wires and went to crank it again soon as i turned the key to crank it car went POP really loud. I tried to crank it and it cranked but wont start. Any help would be more than appreciated

Check your fuses, in car and the one by the battery. Does your check engine light come on when you turn the key to the on position?

The check engine light has been comin on the entire 3 months ive had it i just havent had it checked cause everytime one thing gets fixed something else breaks im bout to say **** it and just park it in the backyard till the stroker comes in im just tryin to keep it runnin till the property sells so i can buy it i havent checked the fuses but i just got done crawling underneath it and jumped the solenoid with the key on and all it does is spark no nothing so bad starter/solenoid?

Is the starter working or not, kinda confused here, in your 1st post you said "it would crank, but not start", now you're saying the starter isn't working, which would make cranking impossible. Maybe we have different terms on the word? From the quote I'll assume the starter isn't working, if so, then yes it could be the solenoid or your car isn't in park.
