i think you don't know much about cars, or don't know how to explain them very well
what wires did you "move around?"
what is "it" when you say "it clicking under the hood?"
what are the "2 things," and how do they "move 1/4 then stop?"
what part of the ignition are you going to buy?
gotta start with the basics..
does the engine turn over and not start, or does it not turn over at all?
if it turns over and doesnt start:
does the car have fuel, and does it get to the engine?
does the engine hold compression?
do the spark plugs get spark?
those things (fuel, compression, spark, and air) are the only things an engine needs to run, you can't be missing a single one.
if it doesn't turn over at all
check the battery. if it's dead or really weak, either buy a new one or put one from another car (with similar size and cranking amps) in it
check the starter and/or starter solenoid
check the ignition cylinder (the part your keys go into) and corresponding wires
those are about all the things i can think of after working for 12 hours, so try that stuff and get back to us with a better description of what the car is doing
