My Civic 94 EX does not start......please help.

Let me try to explain the problem of my civic 94 (D16Z6), I bought this car almost 4 year ago, during this time the car runs perfect not problem at all, never got stalled, driving almost 40 miles a day during 4 years, now I decided to sell it because I got a Civic 97, yesterday 5 guys came to my house to see the car, I drove the car with 2 of the five guys, the car run as usual, perfect, them we return from the ride stop the car in front of my house, we open the hood because the buyer wants to see the engine, everything normal so he decide buy the car, I got into my house with two of the guys, the rest three stay seeing the car outside, when we decide to sign the title one of the guys came into my home saying that the car does not start, I though was the battery connection because I changed it recently but when I tried I run the car I recognize a problem with the car, I tried few times with not lucky, the guys left and now I trying to fixed it:

1. Spark Plug cables and sequence (1-3-4-2). OK. The car has spark.
2. Fuel System. OK. I can hear the relay when I switch the key
3. I disconnected the fuel tubing from the fuel tank to the fuel filter, I can see a lot of gas coming from the pipe when I switch the key.
4. Distributor: Coil OK. Primary and Secondary. (0.6-0.8 ohms) (14 kohms)
5. I have 12 volts on the igniter. I made different tests according manual and It looks OK
6. Distributor cap looks OK
7. Rotor looks OK
8. I changed the fuel filter.
9. I checked all the cables connection and all looks good.

The only abnormal thing is the alternator because one time one of the terminal was disconnected and the engine stop, obviously I have alternator problem but this problem can cause that the car does not start if the battery is full charge?.

Any feedback will be appreciated.

Sounds suspicious that it was working fine and all of the sudden it stops working. It especially sounds suspicious when you go inside to sell it, and it doesn't start when 3 other people are around it. Like maybe they did something to get a better price for their friend or something. For the spark plug order when you say 1-3-4-2, what do you mean? Do you mean starting from the bottom left of the distributor, top left, top right, bottom right? Maybe get an extra wire and test to see if it needs another ground; hold 1 end to the battery and the other to the engine while someone cranks it over.

Civicspoon, thanks for your quick answer, I fixed the problem, spark plug wires, I think the guys outside remove the wires maybe two or three times, the cables goes bad, that is not normal, it is the only explanation I can give, anyway thank you very much.
