No Spark and Can't figure out!

Long story short I had to rebuild my motor (b16a2) cause of problem with the head, so went to do it from the bottom up. We put the motor in and I have fuel but no spark. It cranks over but no spark. I have no check engine light when in the ON(ii) position. Now the car started up fine before we did the rebuild, and the dizzy work with out a problem, I put new plugs and wires on, I ground everything even G101 ground. I have tested the coil and the ICM and they give the proper readings via the Honda Service Manual. And still nothing! I am leaning to a bad dizzy, but like I said everything worked before the rebuild. So could the dizzy be bad for just sitting off the car for 2 months? What is your thought?

I have search on the forums here and every possible place online and can't figure it out. I have no spark and no cel light (which worked before also).

Thanks for any help!

Check fuse no 15(alternator sp sensor. its 7.5amp)you might have trapped a wire somewhere causing a short.
I done it last week.

hope you get it sorted

I have check that fuse the other day and fine. I don't think I have anything trapped. I wired everything except the tranny connections before the motor went back in the car. Thanks for the help.
