Well,txgreasemonkey answered my last questions very! Effectively when I last asked about this,so I wanted to at least say that it still doesn't start,little background,, running,shut off,wouldn't fire back up, just crank. Went through the normal,ign module,timing belt,rotor turning,. it will fire with starting fluid! Went to crank sensor,wires and ground,evrything is new! Txgreasemonkey said k test on ecm,its good 5 volts, so I got a new distributor,last thing I knew,and still nothing! SO! Anybody got any ideas?! Anything!! Txgreasemonkey is awesome fast and knowlegible,maybe hell save me!! Lol

. Does the car pass the 3 basic diagnostic questions? I assume it does.
. Have you tested for spark at each cylinder?
. Have you disconnected the tachometer and tried starting?
. Is the ICM and coil new?
. Is the new distributor housing made by Honda?
. Is the MAP Sensor good? Are MAP Sensor hoses okay?
. Have you cleaned the main ECM ground on the theromostat housing?
. Have you tested for codes?
. Have you tried forcing a code, by cranking the engine for 20 seconds?
. Is the neutral start switch good?
