crank no start issue?- damaged distributor wire (solved)
2000 Honda Civic
-No check engine light
-car is getting fuel
-I checked my timing (TDC) its fine
-car has spark
-Replaced: Rotor,Cap,Igniter and Coil.
Long story short
Car shut off while driving and realized the car had no spark.
The problem was a bad igniter and now i have spark. but it still just cranks and doesn't start.
While I was messing around with the distributor trying to find the problem I damaged the Blk/Yel wire inside the distributor.
Would the damaged Blk/Yel wire cause the car from not starting?

Will do.
Spark plug wires are in correct order.
I forgot to mention that it seems my fuel injectors are not spraying when i crank it. I removed all spark plugs and all the cylinders are completely dry as well as the plugs. (Fuel rail has gas)
I know it has to be something electrical. Main Relay is good so i know that's not the problem.
I have not tested the "TDC/CYP AND CKP" sensor inside the distributor and i believe that might be the problem.

CKP sensor is required for both spark and fuel (injectors). CEL codes?
Injector clips get voltage?
Fixed!
the problem was the cylinders were so dried up (from so much cranking and gas i believe? ) it had low compression. I poured in a small amount of oil in each cylinder and cranked it and it started right up.
