Default 91 CRX si - cranks but won't start

I just bought my first car. 91 CRX si. doesn't run. cranks but its not getting any fuel or spark. I put a brand new distributor on it. changed the main relay and the computer, both of which i know work (tested them on another CRX) im not getting power past the distributor.

Welcome to Honda-tech! A lot of guys are going to give you crap about "why don't you try searching", but have no fear!

We were all inexperienced once before. I find most of my issues with cars on google. The hardest part is asking the right question..

This link goes to someone who asked the question you are asking. Report back if you have anymore issues. Goodluck!

You must create thread titles that summarize the tech problem/question. Title edited. Please read the forum Rules sticky.

Also check whether one of the ECU fuses is blown and resolder the main relay.
