No start
1996 Integra LS, B18B1
I just replaced the head gasket and while the head was off I lapped the valves and had a shop surface the head. Cleaned the tops of the pistons lightly, cleaned valves also, replaced Valve seals, corrected valve lash, deleted most of the A/C that did not work. Now that it is back together, I have no start. It has spark, has fuel, compression is OK. Not sure why it is not starting. It cranks. Has Pulse on injectors. Checked all the fuses and Relays. Even picked up a new main relay just in case. Not sure where to go now. Checked most of the 5V system. Was curious if the wire that was going to the A/C compressor before needs to have something done to it?

I know this is silly but did you make sure you have your spark plug wires in the right firing order? Wire to the A/C compressor should have any affect to starting the car.
I had a similar situation on my em1, I had spark, fuel, etc... after pulling the head off for a rebuild and I even deleted a/c (ended up putting it back on). I finally decided to check the timing and come to find out I had the intake & exhaust cam 90 degrees off (I was running aftermarket adjustable cam gears and they don't say which of the marks is UP for TDC) I corrected this and it fired right up!
I would check your spark plug wires and make sure they are in the right order as said above and double check your timing. Also does it try to start or does it just turn the engine over with no signs of starting?

I thought I had the spark plugs on the distributor correctly. Looking at the cap starting on the bottom left moving in a clockwise motion, I have them 1,3,4,2. I have the stock Cams on also. It just cranks and cranks. Does not seem to act like it wants to start. I was going to pull the Cams off completely again and start over with TDC and a fresh Timing belt and tensioner. Let me know what you think please.
