92 accord ex not starting

I have a 92 Accord ex 2dr 5spd (stock motor)

I drove it home and the next morning it wouldn't start, so I had it towed to my work (bodyshop) to try and narrow the problem down...

it cranks really good but won't fire.

The things I have checked/done so far:

1. getting good spark (replaced all internals on the dizzy)
2. Replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor.
3. Timing belt is good.
4. Getting fuel at rail (can hear fuel pump also)
5. Main relay is clicking when turing ignition on and off.
6. No codes from the ecu.
7. Good Compression.

The only thing funny is that the map sensor relay occasionaly will go crazy and click a whole bunch of times.

what relays/sensors would keep it from firing???

Thanks!

What about injectors. Are you getting 12V to the top of the injector resistors (Yel/blk). If not, you have a main relay problem. On the other side of the resistors, you should have a pulsing 12v as you turn the engine over. If not, you have an ECU problem or injector problem.

How did you determine you have good spark?

holding the wire(s) up next to the bolt on top of the valve cover and seeing a very consitant strong spark...

ok, I have 12v at the top of the injector and a pulsating 12v at the other end. now, when I plug the top of the harness in to the resistor (i think that is what it would be called??? that is when the relays (in the black box on the firewall where the map sensor is) start clicking like crazy.

ok, now I am getting code 14

14- Accord Civic CRV CRX Del Sol Odyssey Prelude
88-98 88-98 97-98 88-91 93-97 95-98 88-98
IAC Valve (Idle Air Control)
defective circuit or unplugged / defective sensor

any more ideas anyone?

ECL 14 is EACV Electronic air control valve. Are you talking about the relays/solenoids located on the passenger side of the engine compartment on the firewall? Have you reset the ECU lately?
