Default b16a trouble

ive been trying to find out what is wrong with my 89 civic si with b16a (first gen) swap. i recently had ctr cams,fuel rail,vafc, and skunk2 cam gears installed. 2 days later after all this was installed i was driving normal and my car just died on me. prior to this i have had my b16 swap on for about 2 years with no problems. now all my car does is crank and crank (strong crank). ive checked for spark and fuel and i have it. ive checked main relay and its fine fuel pump is on also. ive ran out of ideas.if you can help me think of anything else please do so. thanks

Ignitor in the distributor. Check your timing belt. If it is 2 teeth off..it isnt gonna crank. If the ignitor is poop...not gonna crank.

My guess would be to check compression. this will determine if your timing belt is off. May have jumped some teeth. compression will be considerable low if so.
