Default Help I have a very strange, but big problem.

I have a 93 lude with a jdm h23A v-tec motor, apexi vafc, DC headers, and cold air intake. The car for a long time acted like it was getting any spark and wouldnt hardly run right. Since then, I've replaced the coil (which was bad), the plugs and plug wires (which were bad), and the distributor cap, which oddly enough wasnt bad lol. The car still will not start and I'm honestly at a loss here. Ive checked all the voltages throughout the ignition and electrical system and everything is working as it should. But, still no fire at all. It doesnt even attempt to start, just endlessly cranks. After a few cranks you begin to smell raw gas badly. Im honestly at a loss here, and am at the end of my rope. Suggestions? Ideas?

no, i thought it might have been the dizzy, but after taking the plug wire off at the plug, i saw that it was getting good spark from the dizzy. so idk. i also checked all my relays and fuses, they all seem to be in good shape.

Yeah the spark might be weak. Im not sure how you check that tho. Has the motor ever run right?

heres some things you could try

1. try new distributor
2. main relay
3. 02 sensor(highly doubt it could be that)
