Okay i explained to everyone that the car turns over but won't run, I know it's not the starter coil I changed the ignition coil, changed the spark plugs, I don't know if this 02 lancer have a reset button, checked the fuses. all the car do is turnover that's it and fire is coming from only the passenger coil.

Fuel filter?
Fuel Pump?
Do you have your spark plugs & wires in the correct firing order?

Pull the coils, then the spark plugs. Check to see if they're wet and flooded by now they should be. Make sure you have NGK plugs and they're gapped at .043". Re install them making sure you have the plug wire from the drivers side coil which is #4 cylinder going to the #1 cylinder plug. The passenger side coil is #2 cylinder and it's wire goes to the other middle cylinder which is #3. I couldn't believe I had a mechanic shop from out of town tow the car to our dealer 75 miles away because of the wires being switched. The coils won't produce spark unless the plug wires and cables are all on. They ground through each other. An 02 Lancer should be throwing codes unless it's a fuel problem. Did you scan it yet?

Fire is coming from only the passenger coil???????????
Two things are required here if engine is turning over with good starter.
1. Ignition source-I don't mean the spark plugs only. It;s easy to introduce a problem while replacing parts randomly (which you are doing). There are a number of ways to verify ignition (Spark) down to the cylinders where the second important item comes into play.
2. Fuel source-Many components are involved in getting the fuel all the way to the cylinder where we assume the igniton is waiting to begin internal combustion.
Until I have better troubleshooting information from you, there's not a lot of specifics I can suggest. Try this; take one of the two areas I described and try to verify the functionality of each of the subsystems one at a time. don't skip around trying to get lucky and find the faulty area.
