The engine can't start- strange things happen- help
From the begining:
1994 Accord Wagon H22 swaped (OBD I),the bottom end built and driven after 16 000 km. Everything in a working condition. In May turbo build started:
Walbro 255 into the tank, IHI turbo, Tial WG, big IC, some piping, LC-1 WB, Blow Off, Neptune RTP to control all, 3 bar MAP by GM, 450cc DSMs (it appeared they are not working, so 345cc stock for now temporary).
First when I wanted to start a car there was no spark. I thought : OK I fried the coil (it happens, but I'm doubtful now- will check the distributor on my friend's car) as I pulled the plugs from the distributor while ignition was on, my fault? Maybe. I replaced the distributor and finally got some weak spark (cap, rotor almost new, NGK blue wires, fresh ZFR7F11 spark plugs), car didn't start.
Meanwhile I heard some kind of funny noise and I could smell fuel. It appeared one of the fuel lines got rusted so much I didn't sustain the pressure of a new pump and started to leak. OK but what the hell happened to spark? Tried few times and once I spotted the check engine lamp didn't go on when I switched a key... And the fuel pump didn't start to prime at all. It just stopped working. Yeah, what I need is a fried ECU... Anyway I measured the voltage at the distributor plug and it was 12V as expected, I also checked the voltage on the MAP sensor plug- 5V as expected, so maybe ECU is OK? I replaced Neptune with a stock ECU and replaced MAP to stock one. The fuel pump started to prime. OK. No spark though. Another fried distributor? I don't have another to replace... Nor I have an idea what to do...
Help.
Thanks

Haven't checked ICM yet. But it is quite strange when they go one by one on two different distributors (if they did- I'm going to check these distributors in the other H22 powered car)
Grounds seem to be OK- I haven't touched them at all. They worked for 16000 km well. but definitely will check.

But distributor has no connection with main relay I think. Anyway it was in a good working condition before. Even now the injectors spray fuel well.

I built the motor and it was running for 16 000 kilometers in NA form. Then I decided to finish the project and turbo it. I haven't touched the ignition system at all but spark plugs. Tried to start the engine, it failed. Checked spark- present, next time cranking- spark not present.
