You wouldn't receive spark if the ignitor was fried.

If spark and fuel are there, then you need to ensure timing is right.

well looking at the CAM and dizzy is the same thing. You need to compare the CAM against the CRANK.

The thing is if the timing belt was never touched and you know ran fine before then I doubt it's timing.. But if timing belt has been replaced or you've never seen the engine running, then you may have to check it out.

Is there any codes off the ecu?

Ya the car ran awesome B4,the timing was set dead on.Everthing is grounded on the starter housing.The timing belt was never touched,I checked all fuses under the dask and under hood.What does a leaking injector look like,can you see fuel coming out externally or does it leak internal.Does anyone know a trust worthy mechanic who specialise in Honda swaps trouble shooting.Thangs again.

Still this lemon won't start

doing alot of research, some had a similar prob cause excessive carbon eng deposits, they side to keep cranking it with injector plug unpluged,do it periodically 4 1 min intervals 4 5 min,then replug,it should fire up,can some confirm this procedure.thanks homies.

if it was fine before then its something you changed. go part by part and put the old stuff back on till it fires.

What about ignition timing? Has the distributor been moved (replaced or otherwise touched)? Your timing could be too retarded. Try turning the distributor towards the firewall to advance it.

Is the fuel pump even coming on? There should be a buzz from the fuel pump when you turn the key to 'on' (not run) then a 'pop' when the Chk Eng light goes off. If it doesn't... It's either a bad connection at the distributor, or the ignitor has gone bad.
