First for us to get an idea in order to help you, what contacts and where are they located that you touched.

The contacts on the starter but I have fixed that issue. It was the electric part of the ignition switch. Now I have another issue. The motor turns over but there is no fire coming from the plugs. There is 12 volts to the ignition coil but no fire coming from the plugs themselves. Sany ideas as to what could b causing this?

This means that the coil either not being energised to produce the charge to the plugs or your cam or crank sensor could be bad also check the connections to these parts before replacing.
Are you recieving a check engine light on the dash? If so check what code it has.
