Here is my updated status. Still no start. I have replaced the distributor, coil, main relay, and have made sure that all connectors and grounds are good, and I have come to the point to where I have no clue what is wrong. the fuel pressure is good, i know it has oil pressure, and Im am thinking that I has to have something wrong with the timing, because what else could it be? and if it is the timing, is there a way that I could have installed the cams wrong or the t belt? because I was sure I installed them correctly. Please anyone with help, My car has been down since december, and I need to get it running, its very depressing having a fully built t4 prelude sitting in the garage.

Took about 6 times of 15 second increments before I saw oil moving in my mechanical line for my oil pressure gauge. Unplug the actual coil, remove your fuel pump fuses and crank it, give the starter time to cool every now and again. You should see oil pressure. If you don't something is hooked up wrong. I've got a built motor too and have never been able to get it to run right either. Golden Eagle block, built head the whole nine yards. I'd just buy a new oem coil and replace your main relay and or igniter inside the dizzy. I'd almost bet you'd have spark then. You don't even need a msd ignition unless you're over 500+ hp! I've replaced all those parts I mentioned but haven't been able to fire it because I'm stuck on the timing belt and getting the crank pulley off. I've got the honda oem tool to hold the crank but it doesn't fit in between the inner fender and the harmonic balancer. Don't know if I have to drop the timing belt side mount or what. Did you have any problems with your timing belt?

 

It honestly sounds like a ground issue if your not getting spark. The first one that comes to mind is the thermostat housing ground. Thats your main ground for the ECU and is kinda important for spark. Even if its hooked up to the wrong bolt often it wont work right and will have intermittent failure or full failure to spark. Next, you should check the other two obvious grounds at the transmission housing and the one on the valve cover.
