new distributor but car wont start

What is your question?

i recently bought a 93 acura integra. the owners recently purchased a new distributor as they were experiencing timing issues. but instead of fixing the problem the car now wont start. when u turn the key the motor just keeps acting like it will start and it will idle for about a second and then it just keeps winding. need a recommendation on if i need to reinstall the distributor or if it could be another issue
