Icon6 98 Civic LXI 1.5L cranks but does not start? pls help.

fuel pump is ok, the fuel reaches the motor, the coils has electricity, spark plugs are new, and the coils have spark, the car cranks very good but no start...
any ideas may help, am thinking of the oxygen....

How old is your battery. I had the same issue and I replaced my battery and it started up.

Are the plug wires installed in the correct firing order on the cap?

Do the injectors spray fuel?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

Can you smell gasoline when you remove the spark plug? If no that means the injectors are not spraying.

Have you checked your 101 ground on the back of the t-stat housing?
