Default Car won't start

Motor used to start but threw code 15 so I swapped out ignitors then tried to start it. Nothing, so I tried another ignitor, nothing didn't start. So i tried putting my old one back on, nothing didn't start. I'm getting fuel, so that's off the list. So i switched the firing order and then it popped. So there's spark right? So i put it back to original firing order. Still don't start. Im thinking it's the dizzy so if anyone in the socal area, carson to be specific can let me borrow theres to see if thats the problem that would be realllllll cool.

Did the car jump cam timing?

Did you check the ignition coil?

is the rotor on backwards? ( ive seen this with the ignition wires reversed to make the car run lol )

Got the car to start again. Loose connection on the jumper harness. Made a new thread on the surging. If you can help, here's the thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1290098
