Default civic wont run

I was driving my civic and it just shut off,I tried changing everything:distributor,computer,plugs,wires,fuel pump, filter,etc. The car will turn over,it just won't start.It has new timing belt,water pump,axles,brakes,clutch.I just can't figure out my problem.I took it to a mechanic and he said it had something to do with the wiring.Has anyone ever seen anything like this.Help me out.

did you even check for fuel or spark ?

or did you just replace all of those parts for the hell of it ?

who changed them?

what the hell did your mechanic check ?

i hope the car not starting didnt suggest to you to change the brakes, axles, etc.
