98 no start in vancouver

Hey guys, My buddy has a 98 that just died the other day - he's done a bunch of troubleshooting - replaced coil/coil ignitor.. has spark on all plugs, has fuel pressure.. nothing. Just cranks and cranks - no sputter, doesn't even try to start.

I personally think it's the ECU but we don't know much about civics or their common problems.. nor do we know anyone with the same model/motor to test it out on..

Anyone have any suggestions for common problems? Anyone in the Port Coquitlam area with this car who wants to make a 6 pack testing out an ECU on their car? (or vice versa)

Re: 98 no start in vancouver

Was any other work done on the car recently?
Fuses are ok? All of them?
How is the timing belt?
Did you do a compression test?
Injectors ok?
The intake manifold is unobstructed?
