civic with issues

my buddy has a 87 civic that doesnt run anymore. It sputtered and quit a while ago, and it hasnt started since. The timing was checked and its fine, with a new belt. When its turned over, it fires once or maybe twice then keeps turning over like no fuel is in the chamber. any help would b appreciated. thx

Carb or F.I. ?

FI of course. we thought it was a crank sensor or cam sensor. good compression though.

check to see if youre getting spark, and then check to see if you fuel pump is working.
