      ..........You know what.....If I' am not mistaking, you have an exhaust leak(on the cat back), you loosing power because you got no back pressure, you loosing power cuz of that, you need to take it to your local muffler shop and get those exhaust leaks welded. later

              if you were messin around the fuel rail, make sure the fuel injectors are connected. check where the plugs connect to the distributor also.

                Is the Check Engine Light on? Did you do anything else to the car between the last time you had it running and this time, beyond the installation of the catback? Even running with no catback should not make a good running engine flake out and run like its on 2 cyls.

                    What have you looked for so far? did you pull the dizzy cap and watch the rotor button while someone turned the engine over. Is it turning. If not.. timing belt/cam broke. Did you open the plug on the top of the fuel rail and have someone turn the key on briefly to see if the was fuel coming out, or best to put pressure gauge in. No fuel/pressure bad fuel pump, or fuse, or main relay I think. We dont know what exactly to suggest to you because we dont know what you have already checked. Is it even turning over?
                    My inferiority complex isn't as good as yours.

                            are you getting a click at all when turning the key? valve adjustment if the valve are far enough off will prevent the car from starting.
