Car Won't Start... No Spark?

changed my plugs for the basic copper plugs like always about 2-3months ago..tops.

was driving in 3rd gunned it, shifted into 4th and as i did, big jerk/pop from the car.

upper intercooler hose popped off from the throttle body.

so next day i put it back on and tried starting the car and it wont turn over. disconnected the battery for 5min still nothing. 2 of my coil boots were really dirty like black dirt was on them and in the spark plug holes but the plugs themselves were still white (from the top) havent looked at the spark plugs yet but idk why they would be bad in that short amount of time..

any idea of what it could be? 2003 evo

Check all fuses? Is the battery discharged?

all fuses looked fine & i disconnected the battery for 5min and plugged it back in.
car cranks but does not turn over. you can smell the gas out of the exhaust.
seems to not be getting spark to turn the car on. confused as to why its randomly not starting from a hose coming off.

found the problem. when the upper intercooler piping came off the throttle body it pulled on the wire that connects the ground and ignition box & it came off the connector
