Default please help! my car isn't starting

ok i have a 94 accord ex with I/H/E, crane cam ignition w/ ps92 coil, magnacore wires, and the v-force.

in the past the v-force messed up my ecu so i had to reset it in order for my car to work. also before my coil had a loose wire so my car didn't start... all those past time my car cranks but no start.

this time i tried everything..reset the ecu...i threw out the v-force.. and checked all the wires to the ignition...what makes a car start?? does anybody know what the problem is?? first time i started the car today then a second later it just died and never started again...it feels like it wants to start but seems like not enough spark or something to fire it up!.. please help thanks.

Maybe time to replace your timming belt. To check remove the distibutor cap and have a buddy crank the car and see if the rotor spins, and if not timming belt problem.
