1989 Toyota Tercel 4 cyl Manual 120,5 miles

I recently fixed the Valve cover on the motor, and changed the oil, i drove it about 30 miles and it ran better than ever. The next day i started it, reversed, the car idled out, and has no been able to start since. I had a friend check the distributer cap, and i am getting spark, the car is also getting fuel, and we sprayed carb cleaner in it. I have a warn out hole in my cam, but if that was the problem it wouldn't have worked before. Any advice or options of what could be the problem with the car?
