Is spark bright white or weak orange or blue? If spark is fine, check whether the timing belt skipped a tooth or two.

yeah, sounds like timing issues then if your getting good spark, connections and fuses are fine.

how do i check for that ??? all i did was unplug the line that goes on bottom of the fuel regulator and when i put it on the on position (WHEN ALL THE CLUSTER LIGHTS TURNS ON AND FUEL PUMP RUNNING AND MAIN RELAY CLICKING) fuel comes out of that line is that a good way of checking it?

Absolutely. If the timing belt skips even one or two teeth, the engine may not start.

What color is spark at the plugs?

Any CEL codes?

It will help if you try to answer all questions.

I can't believe no one's asked this yet:

Has it run in this car before and stopped, or did you just swap it and can't get it started? What year is the engine? What year is the ECU? What ECU are you running? What OBD level is the car/ECU? The car should be OBD2b - Are you also using a 2b ECU, or something else with a jumper harness?

An OBD2b GSR engine with an OBD2b GSR P72 ECU will not start in a Civic without ECU mods.
