Icon6 1998 Honda Civic Cranks but won't start!!!

When i brought the car it ran good for about a week then it started to bog. Then i got it fix and ran good for another week then it happened again. Now the car bogs when it starts up, but recently it haven't start up it only cranks. The things I changed spark plugs, added helicoils for two cylinders, spark plug wires, fuel filter, fuel pump, ignition coil, thermal for fan that cools off the motor, oil change and that's all I could think of. Been spending a lot of money and the car still only cranks with no start. I have no idea where to start off to check for the issues/problems.

helicoils ? confirm fuel then mechanical timing check that you're getting spark also even to you've replaced a **** load of ignition components.

So I brought the OBD2 scanner and scanned it, no codes came up. I also used starting fluid and sprayed where the air sensor is and still only cranks. I checked if there was fuel pressure by untightening the screw on the fuel rail and fuel sprayed out.
