Icon6 97 Honda Prelude base no start

I have a 97 Prelude that won’t start. No CELs are present. The car sounds like it turns over just fine with no resistance. No abnormal sounds, such as clicking, are noticed upon attempted start up. The battery replaced new. New Ignition coil, Vms cam gears (both zeroed out), obx cams, T-Belt and water pump replacement, EGR Valve & IAC cleaning, new crank positioning sensor, all visible hoses replaced, were all done. The fuel pump sounds as it should when the key is turned to the “ON” position (first stop when key is turned). The car once (2-3 weeks ago) turn completely off while running with a full of gas. Hasn’t happened since then. Any suggestions for the next step in trouble shooting?

Hey guys hopeing u could help me out tooo. Having pretty much the same problem. No spark no fuel and the main relay clicks. Also the c.e.l. doesnt come on at all. A little about the car. I bought it at an auction for 2275 in Fairbanks Alaska.*H22a4. It had no keys. So I bought an*immobilizer*unit of*ebay*sent mine in the flashed it reprogrammed it cut me some keys and she finally turned over. Didnt start. Checked plugs and replaced. Has new wires and cap and coil looks prety new too. I also took the wire of the cap from the coil and had someone turn it over and still no spark. I smelt the plugs and didnt notice a fuel smell. Turned the ignition on again and didnt here it prime. Red a forum off here and then checked the main relay didnt notice any cracking. Solderd it anyway. Pluged it back in and again turned on the ignition and held the relay it clicked and still no priming. No start. But anything will help. Its my first honda ever. I cheated on my*fox*body*mustang. I hope she doesnt hate me.

Thank you guys, I figured it out it was a short. One of the crank position sensor wires (on the harness side) going to the PCM.
