Default 2000 Civic Si no spark, coil/ICM tested good

Struggling to figure out this no start.

2000 Civic Si (SiR, since I'm in Canada)
- Cranks but won't start
- Has fuel, no spark at any of the plugs
- Timing belt not broken & timing marks line up
- Checked all grounds, G101 thermostat ground is tight
- Main relay fine, fuel pump primes, CEL turns off after 2 sec & no codes
- Checked all fuses, battery fully charged
- Tested +12V at Blk/Yel wire to distributor
- Primary coil resistance 0.7 ohms, secondary around 14K ohms
- ICM tested fine
- Checked plug wires in correct order on distributor
- Cap & rotor replaced with newer ones, plugs were wet with fuel & replaced with new ones

The only other ideas I can come up with are bad ECU or crank sensor.

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
-Dustin

I had this happen after I changed my ignition control module

Somehow I got the wires mixed up.

My test light showed power to the positive size AND the negative side of the coil

I corrected the connections and it fired right up

But buy the sounds of all your tests, do you have a spare ECU to throw in to test?
I followed all the steps in that thread & came up empty, which is why I started this thread.

I might have a spare ECU, if I find it I'll try it.

I checked & all 4 wires were reconnected to the ICM correctly.
