If the dist cap is broken, electricity takes the path of least resistance so and will follow the cracks and jump onto the block instead of following the paths of the wires. Thsi is why you are getting so much misfire. Replace the cap.....

Your rotor never turns while trying to start....fuel pump is working..but like i said the rotor never turns when trying to turn over....may be a broken timing chain...please help?

Depending on the year,it probably has a timing belt,not a chain...also take out the distributor,and see if it has a broken drive gear...I had the same problem on a car once,changed the timing belt (5 hours),and it turned out to be the little gear on the end of the distributor...Check that first....
