iv'e got a 1990 mazda miata that won't start. I painted the valve cover not to long ago and ever since I put I back on my car won't start, also ever since then when I put the key in the ingnition it sounds like theirs air coming somewhere out of my motor or somewhere else.

Check vacuum hoses for leaks.

It sounds to me that you have a vacuum leak... check your hoses for possible leaks?
