Default 94' LS Cranks but no start

Hey guys, long time no see. I have been out of the Honda scene for years and currently have a turbocharged RX-8. Anyway, I picked a 94' LS as a daily. Bone stock, well maintained. I was driving along and it died. From past experiences in my Civic and CRX I figured it was the ICM. I went ahead and replaced the cap, rotor, coil, and plugs so I could start fresh. Well, it still does not start. The pump primes and I have fuel at the rail. It cranks but nothing. I tested everything as per the advanced ignition troubleshooting page on TI and everything checks out.

Bad distributor? I don't remember them just dying like that but what do you guys think? Thanks!

You did all that with the distributor and didn't even replace the ignitor which is most likely your problem. Or the ignition switch maybe. Also even if you have pressure at the rail doesn't mean the injectors are working, so test those. Do a compression test. Check codes. Do you test to see if it has spark at the plugs or not?

Where is the ignitor? All the wires seem ok at the switch, I jiggled wires and the key to see if it would do anything and it still cranks but doesn't turn over. I realize pressure at the rail doesn't mean the injectors are working but I have never heard of injectors just failing like that.

I am going to check the plugs now.

Is this the ignitor or ICM? I replaced this but they called it the ICM and so does the thread on Team Integra.

ICM is the igniter.

No I haven't gotten it started. The old plugs were brown but not horrible. I am going to check the wires and plugs for spark tomorrow. It just cranks, nothing else. All fuses and relays are good.

so are you getting spark??? did you pull out each spark plug and ground them??
Have to checked if you have enough battery power, sometimes this is the problem.
