so i was changing my spark plugs on my honda and it wouldn't start. So this is what i did.
1. I put the old ones back in and still wouldnt start.
2. Checked to see if i had spark and nothing.
3. Put starter fluid in intake to see if it will start nothing.
4. Changed cam shaft and crank shaft sensors still nothing.
5. I bought some used ignition coils at the junkyard which seemed pretty good nothing.
6. Addded gas and oil still nothing.
Could it be exposed wire somewhere?
Im out of ideas any help would be great.

What kinda noise is it making when you try to start it? Cranks but never turns over? Single click? Multiple rapid clicks? Weird, nasty groaning sound? Absolutely nothing?

Using the same key you've been using when it did turn over?

What is causing the no power to plugs is the though part...
Changing plugs will only involve removing bolts to the coils and remove then
Track any wires around that you could have knocked out?
while you track, at night, put battery on a charger, it might start getting weak after many attempts to start.
multimeter things around

electrical/electronic bugs are tough because you can't see them.
prod around with a multimeter

Your starting issues reminded me of when I accidentally tried to start my car with a non-programmed key. Cranked for days with no turn over. Wouldn't even push start. Works by disabling fuel supply unless transponder programmed key is detected. It was when I looked at my key (was a different/updated shape) that I realized I had the wrong key
That said, if your key worked before, look into fuel delivery? Fuel relay/pump working? Should hear a faint click of the fuel relay shutting when key is turned to "on"
