Cranks but will not fire

I just bought a 97 civic. The car ran great. One day I was screwing around and did a little bit of a "launch". The car wheel hopped a few times and then died. The car would want to fire up wouldn't. One time it did fire up and barely ran for about 30 seconds.
- The car has spark
- Good fuel pressure
-Good Fuses

My thought was that something came unplugged when the car was wheel hopping but all the plugs look good and all the fuses tested good. Any ideas??

Re: Cranks but will not fire

When I turn the key on all of the dash lights come on. I crank the car and the engine light goes off. If i leave they key on after cranking all of the lights come back on including the check engine light.

Got spark? Got fuel? Engine timing correct?
