92 Honda Accord - will not start
I have a 92 Honda accord that will crank over but will not start.
I replaced the main relay, fuel filter, cap, rotor, and spark plugs.
The distributer cap rotates when I rotate the engine. Timing belt
seems to be OK. I removed one of the spark plugs and cranked the
engine. There is a nice bright blue spark. I released the fuel
pressure when I replaced the fuel filter, and then cranked the engine,
a large stream of fuel squirted out of the fuel line when I cranked the
engine. I had an assistant spray starting fluid into the intake while
I cranked, but the engine did not show any sign of starting. When I
crank the engine, the tach does not move at all, is this a sign that
the igniter is bad? I have heard that the electrical ignition switches
go out, but my car is not starting at all when cranking.
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance!

Make certain that spark is actually making it all the way to the plug
that's installed in the engine.
If the current finds a ground anywhere before the plug, your tests will
tell you nothing. Your blue spark tells you the distributor is just fine.
Check the plug wire and the tube in the head for signs of arcing.

I forgot to mention in the original post that I replaced the spark plug
wires and wire from the coil to the distributor.
