92 civic hatch with b18c1 swap idled and cut out. Now it won’t start (need help)
Ive only had the car for around a month at this point and only got to drive it 4 times before i ran into this issue. I had hopped in it to show a buddy what it could do and as we sat there idling the car immediatly cut out. So seamless that at first i didnt realize it actually died. Now it will crank but wont start. I got it towed to a shop that is owend by a friend of mine and he ran a compression test and checked for spark and fuel which are all fine. I even put a new dizzy on it. But i still get nothing to start it.
More info on the build.
Mind you i do not have alot of experience in building engines such as this one and any tuning at all but i have a parts list if that helps. I also have no contact with the shop that tuned it since they dont recieve calls anymore.
Parts.
precision turbo 6265
hks bov
treadstone 666hp intercooler
grams 1000cc injectors
deatschwerks 300lph fuel pump
wiseco pistons
eagle connecting rods
arp studs
black works catch can
stage 5 clutch
It also has a hondata s300 tuned ecu.
i really need some help on this one i feel like im running out of options but i want to keep the car and give it a fair chance. Any help is appreciated thanks!!

Check timing. Alot of the times it could 've that it jumped or tooth or so since it happened after a pull. Usually happens after popping the clutch hard but never know.
Any CEL? Check engine light...

So it has fuel, spark, (and presumably air) when cranking, but it doesn't fire at all? Something is wrong with timing then. Whether mechanical, ignition, or something is up with the ecu. Are you able to plug into the S300 and download the calibration, or do datalogging in Smanager with the key on? Is there a green or red LED near the USB plug on the ecu?

It has no check engine light on. I plugged up my laptop with the hondata manager on it and the only error code i got was code 15. But to get that code to show up i would have to crank the car over and over until it popped up once. Then after that i couldnt get it to pop up again. Also there is no led’s when the usb is plugged in. I had the timing checked by a friend owned shop that the car is currently at.

I wasnt able to figure out how to datalog on that software i would start the recording and try cranking it but i didnt see and data show up afterwards. Its my first time using a software for tuning.

Go to the S300 help guide online and read through it. It goes into detail of how things work.
S300 Help Guide
Then specifically go down to the Troubleshooting section under ecu and follow all the steps to make sure it is set up and installed properly.

Re: 92 civic hatch with b18c1 swap idled and cut out. Now it won’t start (need help)
ok so i have a question. could it be that i put a new dizzy in and to be fair it was my first time doing it ever, but i may have moved the crank where the dizzy fits into. and i put a different dizzy in before this one and the teeth on it snapped off, maybe from me incorrectly installing it?
