Default No Spark. Please help.

Hello all. I have a buddy with a 92 EG hatch (not too sure which trim but it's got the d15b7 w/ manual trans). Recently, it started cranking but not starting. We checked a multitude of things and tried a bunch of forum suggestions, but to no avail.

All of the obvious things have been checked such as:
  • fuel pump (can hear it prime)
  • ecu (tried a spare)
  • plugs and wires (replaced)
  • dizzy and igniter (replaced)
  • battery (replaced)
  • crank position sensor (signals fine)
  • fuses (none burned or blown, all necessary ones in place)
  • grounds (cleaned and present)
  • timing (no tooth jump)
  • connections (all reachable ones have been cleaned and reconnected, no damage was found but there is still the possibility of cable damage somewhere)
I hope I'm just missing something really simple that would fix the issue. Please help.

I really appreciate y'all in advance as well as for all the previous threads that got us this far!

Have visually verified spark? Verified rail pressure?

Visually verified no spark on any cyl. Injectors definitely fire on crank.

Very possible. I'll grab another one to try from the junk yard today.

The issue has been resolved! Thank you to those who responded. Apparently one on the wires in the loom to the dizzy was sitting loose on the connector side. Shoved it into the connector real hard and everything started working. Wooo!
