96 civic CX - rebuilt engine won't start
96 civic CX d16y7. I feel like I am having a fuel or vacuum leak or something because it feels like I'm not getting fuel to the car. I just rebuilt the engine and I don't know what it could be because it started, then rebuilt, now I'm replacing all this stuff. I've replaced the fuel filter and fuel pump.
It will turn over but not start all the way and when you press the gas it'll kill whatever I have going for a few seconds. My dad sprayed starter fluid in the throttle body and it didn't do anything. Please help!

Take out all spark plugs..
put a long screwdriver in the #1 cylinder and rotate the crank until the #1 reaches the top of the stroke..
When it does,. Look at the timing mark. Now you know where TDC is
EDIT: nevermind, there ya go

Your terse answers are not helping you. Start providing details.
Post compression numbers and pictures of cam and crank at TDC1.
Did you check for spark at all 4 plugs? What color was it?
Does the engine start with starting fluid?

"Excelent" doesn't tell us a damn thing. If you want help with a diagnosis, give us numbers. Exactly what is your compression in each cylinder? Have you tested your fuel pressure? Tested your injectors? Does the CEL come on for 2 seconds when you first turn the key to ON(II), then turn back off?
