Default 94 Honda Del Sol - Car will crank but not start - new battery, getting fuel

I have just replaced my battery on my Del Sol -I haven't had any problems up till now except that a few of the pedal spacers have fallen off. But I fixed the spacer on the clutch pedal and went to start the car and it won't start. The engine cranks, I had the starter tested, replaced the battery, and pulled the fuel injectors, and they are spraying fuel. Anyone have any idea?

Check for spark. Carefully don't just pull plug wires loose. Could be the cap or rotor or ignitor.

Motor wouldnt crank if clutch safety switch wasn't working.

I thought so too, but I was suggesting retracing what OP touched that may have caused no fire issue.

ok, update, and thank you all for helping. It's running now, I went to do the timing and was looking to set it up without the car running when I thought to double check the clutch switch again just in case. I had unscrewed a ground for 3 wires to something to make some room to get in at the clutch to put the spacer back in and had forgot to put the ground back on. It started right up after attaching it, just had to floor the gas the first time to get some fuel flowing again. Took it for a test drive and all is well.
