Default 96 Civic no spark (searched)

I let the car sit for 2 weeks, came back to a cranking non stop-no spark
The car has new plugs/wires within last 5k.
timing belt 25k ago
It IS getting fuel, but no spark
Swapped distributors, same fast style cranking.

Main relay is clicking when key is on...I am running out of ideas.

just check your timing belt again to make sure nothing is wrong with it, also check to see if there is any rock or something that is stuck between the belts down there.

When you swapped the new distributor on did you use the old cap?

As mentioned, check whether the timing belt snapped or stripped.

CEL codes?

Voltage reaching coil and ICM?

Ok update: Checked timing...good
checked coil got .8-.9 on the old and "new" one that came off a running car. and 16.xx kohms for the 2ndary.
No cel codes.
Ok so I did do some checking around today, I am getting spark but it seems to be weak? Could this be ecu related?
Main relay is clicking, fuel pump is pumping. When I put pull the injectors (trying to clear out the fuel so it doesnt foul the plugs, sometimes it will start for a second then die1/10 times) So stumped. I really wish that I did not leave the car sitting for the 2 weeks.
