The boxes where all the ground wires run to on the wiring harnesses I realized were all cut off on my wiring harness I mustve done it not thinking or one of the buddys did but I grounded all those wires out again I think. Could this cause any problems? My currently will not start has spark has fuel but won't start? Come on guys help me out. Its a 94 hatch with a b16a swap

Grounds are just as important as power wires.
I have no idea what wires you mean. The white boxes behind the headlights?

Those grounds are important. The grounds on your thermostat housing are absolutely critical. I can't think of any reason why a sane person would pull the chassis harness, let alone hack them off.
I'd start over with a new harness.

I still have the main grounds. I have the grounds that go to the thermostat housing. Its just like the ones that go too the headlights corner lights wiper motor and whatever else runs to those little boxes

I tried a new dizzy still wouldn't go so then I did a compression test and it was really bad so I just pulled it out and I'm gonna rebuild it
