Default Civic will crank but not start

hey im new here and i got a 92 dx hatch and its got a CX motor in it it cranks and everything gets spark and fuel but its not firing. the plugs and wires are good all the fuses are good all grounds are good. I dont know what im missing any ideas? I just put the motor in about 3 weeks ago, i never heard it run i bought it as a shell and got the motor with it i was told it ran just fine and had 13x,xxx miles on it its pretty clean for its age so its believable i just dont know what to do.

not trying to insult your intelligence but how do you know you are getting both spark and fuel?

alright well this guy i know at autozone told me to put a screwdriver into the one of the plugs and put it up to the frame and if i was getting spark i would see it jump from the screw driver to the frame, i did that and it worked and the fuel pump primes and sends it through the rail
