Default crx si no start

ok im friggin pissed i checked everything, main realy, not the fuel pump cuz it turns on i have spark my timing is good i think all the marks line up. my firing order is ok and im just not completely sure about the main relay tho i cant determine if thats wut it is cuz i replaced it twice and they all do the same thing it primes the pump but when you turn the engine over it keeps clicking and idk wut the problem is i have good spark i just dont kno wut else to look at any input would be great. oh yea almost forgot if i squirt fuel in the intake i hear it come out of the exhaust not even a fart from the engine

have you checked compression...if the car sat for a while maybe the rings got washed...try a couple drops of oil in each cylinder.

Sounds to me like there is no spark, or weak spark "if i squirt fuel in the intake i hear it come out of the exhaust not even a fart from the engine" you would think you would get something.

Any chance your distributor is out, [rotated] by 180 degrees? 94

unless the compression is really shitty on all cylinder i would think it should still start or hesitate or somethin. u sure your injectors are fireing and i would check fuel pressure to just to make sure ur good there. also how did u check spark? im sure u checked it but the plugs may not be gapped right.
