Need help quick: Car won't start, tried everything.....
Car won't start, it is getting fuel.
I have replaced the main relay, the whole distributor w/ cap and rotor and have quadrouple checked the spark plug wire order.
The car will just crank away but never fires. The timing belt is not broken.
What else could it be?!!

Check to see if spark is getting to the plugs or not. Try sticking a flat head screwdriver into the end of the plug wire then holding the shaft of the screwdriver near the valve cover. If there is a small arc from the screwdriver to the valve cover, you've got spark.
I got it running. I took out the ECU and made sure the connections were all tight. They were.
So then we pushed the car up the driveway and roll started it. This must have blew out all of the crap from trying to start it for 2 weeks and now it starts and runs just like before.
I'm not sure what it was, but it's running decent now.
Thanks guys

Get your Ignition Control Module tested. I had the same thing happen to my B16a setup and my car finally started running then about 2 weeks later it died again. If you dont know where it is located it is in the distributer it is this little rectangular device that sits at the bottom of the dist. Its easy to remove 3/4 wires and 2 screws. You can go to Autozone / pepboys places like that and they have a testing device. I got mine tested twice first time it checked out ok then when the car died again it failed.
P.S. Dont get pissed off and punch a hole in your windshield
