CAR WONT START!?!?!? So there is no spark but when you stop turning the key it Sparks found that out with a shock.... Replaced the ignition switch, coil, ignition control module. Every thing has been replaced in the last 6 months new motor new ignition system new paint new tires was going to start on interior over the weekend when it started doing this.

You need to swap to pony wheels, you get a 5 hp gain by swapping to pony wheels but that is moot if it don't run.
Seriously, give us a pic of the engine compartment, not that it will help, I just like to feel like I'm there. This year I think will have a dura spark ignition system so our cranks but no start checklist will not be very useful. I would start by inspecting the ignition and the control box on the inner fender, it's a aluminum box that control spark and stuff, look for a sticky substance coming from under it.
do you have a repair manual for this car?

I will send photo soon I have also replaced the ignition switch and the ignition control module that aluminum box on the side of the fender.

Another question, did the car run and drive or is this something you just acquired?

Yes it was driving I was taking it down the block and my foot slipped off the clutch and I killed it and this is what it started doing
