92 Wagon

Well after reading as much as I can on the web and trouble shooting the beast, I'm at a loss. Hoping for some guru help here.
Its a 92 LX wagon 2.2 with 180,000kms. I've had it about 3 months and it was running fine until I had no spark which was the leaky O-rings causing sparkplug short. Fixed it and it ran fine for a couple weeks with the odd miss. Then I started getting a noticeable miss in rush hour traffic coming home. Cold start it would be fine. After about a week of that it started cutting out badly like no spark especially at idle situations. At that point I changed the ICM which didn't work and it totally died on me. Now it doesn't even want to sputter.
Here's the list...
Valve cover and O-rings changed due to leaking oil
New plugs and leads
New fuel filter
Coil changed
ICM changed
Dist checks out according to repair manual specs and was new less than 2 years ago
Main relay checked and replaced anyway
ECM functioning but changed anyway
Compression 185-200 across the board
Timing marks line up
Injectors firing
I'm getting spark and fuel but still a no start condition...???
Ignition switch seems fine because I wasn't getting any wonky dash lights or anything suspicious.
I'm getting tach bump as well.
WTH??
Anymore ideas would be great. My buddy suggested a plugged cat..thoughts?

Thanks

Ps.. I have a vid of the sparkplugs laying over the valve cover holes and I'm turning the motor over which is igniting the fuel as its expelled from the sparkplug holes showing it's getting fuel and ignition... I just can't post it yet

Possibly a bad crank sensor?

A plugged cat would still allow engine startup, or at least a sputter before backpressure built up enough to stall the engine.

When you stated timing was correct, did you verify that the timing belt is still tensioned and correctly adjusted?

Thanks that's an awesome flow chart.. Timing belt is tight and marks lined up but I will go recheck things today and give an update.

have you checked your fuses?...or has anyone messed with the ECU?plugs might have moved...they are in a bad position on those accords and if it moves enough it will not start at all...but u sure u have spark?...Could be the CYP sensor in the distributor that is non serviceable...just giving you ideas brah

Does it crank or is seized?

Thanks for the input! Turns the original problem was the ICM and the secondary was the cap and rotor.
She's running great. Who would have thought that a bad cap and rotor could cause so much grief lol
They seemed to be in great shape and the plugs were getting lots of spark, but under compression I guess it was just too weak and caused a flooding condition.
