Default Help needed - Not starting!!!

Hello, I'm in need of some help with my B16A del sol Auto, the engine refused to start after a short run just over a week ago and after changing a few items with no sucess I'm in desperate need of some help. The engine cranks and then fires for a second and then just cranks again, so far I have changed - spark plugs, ignition module, coil and the main relay. I have carried out the ECU check with the 2 pin plug and a paper clip but I get no fault codes shown. The fuel pump can be heard and with the ignition on and I get fuel to the injection rail and I have cleaned the earths on the battery, below the thermostat and on the slam panel. I'm starting to get a bit worried that it might be the ECU as the only other things to change are the distributor cap, rotor arm and leads but as it fires for a second under cranking I would guess that a spark can make it to the engine. Any advice is welcome and clearly needed!!!!

Thanks in advance

Steve

Check for spark at all 4 spark plugs. Spark should be bright white.

I have changed the fuel filter, distributor cap, rotor arm, HT leads and given the throttle body a good clean out but I'm still stuck with the same problem and ideas as to where to go next? Could any of the inlet manifold sensors cause a problem like this and not show up as a fault code?
