Default 1992 Honda Accord Starting Problem !

I have a 1992 accord and it dont want to start. I installed a new head with a new head gasket because the other head was cracked. I bolted it on right im %100 sure, i called autozone and they said to torque it from 29/52/78 and thats exactly how i did it, after i installed everything (including new oil) i turned on the car and it turned on , i left it on for about a minute and then turned it back off , left off for a bit and i tried turning it back on and it did , i gave it gas twice and it turned off on me , tried turning it back on and now its getting no spark ? i checked all the pipes and they're all connected right , im in need of help please ?

Since you just replaced the head...is the main ground in the thermostat clean and tight?

Putting on a new head is without question the hardest thing to do. Not because it's hard, but because there are so many delicate things to worry about or the head will wind up being warped, assuming the block isn't already warped like has happened to me.

I would check the compression of all cylinders to be sure there are no problems with the head, the block, or the installation.

i havent checked the ground on the thermostat to be honest , i was reading about that just a bit ago and honestly thats what i think it is , when i get home im going to check that out , one thing i do know is that my mechanic didnt connect thing that supports the motor , its just hanging by my oil filter , could that probaly be a problem ? and where is the thermostat ground located ? i looked it up on google and alot of different pictures popped up .

The thermostat ground is at the bottom of the thermostat housing. But if the thing started up and then died I'd be surprised it it wasn't already connected.
