:banghead: Ok here is the situation. The car cranks strong but it's not fiiring up. The car has gas and i've replaced the spark plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and distributor. I'm kinda at a loss for what to look for next. BTW it's a '98 Civic EX. Thanx guys.

When quiet, listen for fuel pump buzz noise when key first turned to position II.
Take one of the old spark plugs and disconnected plug wire attached to the old plug. Lay it on metal of engine and check for spark while cranking. (Shock Hazard!!)
Check the fuses.
