98 Civic cranks but won't start
So I have a 98 civic coupe dx model
New parts I have installed within the last week
Distributor
spark plugs & wires
battery
checked all fuses and main relay
checked Ecu
and crankshaft position sensor
now what had happened was is my car overheated on the highway and it completely died on the off ramp now my battery was very bad to the point where I had to jump my car from another battery when my car died completely on the off ramp of the highway it was smoking out of the engine I had it towed to a tow place and tried to start it up it started up but it was running very rough and shaking the whole front of the car that's when I found out the crankshaft position sensor was bad I took the car to my house and changed all the parts that I have listed out there the head gasket and timing belt and water pump were done a month and a half ago and the reason my car overheated was because my water pump was leaking
now my car cranks over and does not start I have spark and I have fuel I don't know what is wrong and I need help

Read the rules sticky. Your thread title needs help.
Also...I'm not reading that awful mess. Some punctuation, even if incorrect is better than none.
Also line spacing like my post is very helpful.

You need to check the timing as suggested
Is spark bright white at all 4 plugs? If so, recheck the the mechanical timing and compression test the cylinders.
They all spark I will check YouTube to see if they are sparking bright enough tommarro I will check timing I dont have a compression tester is there eny way to find that out
