Since I've replaced timing belt,tensioner an water pump. Crank an cam sensors, fuel pump battery an terminals reset pcm. No flashing key car trys to start but will not stay running. Been a mechanic for 20 years an I'm stumped no active DTC in system. Any ideas? Timing is dead on

Honda's don't like aftermarket sensors, go grab some from the junkyard if you don't want to pay full price.
Re: Civic crank but no start
I had a problem from brand new 7th Gen car with 1.7 motor.
After running for a while and stopping engine, say for gas it would crank but was hard to start.
Last year on really hot days the engine would just stop intermittently for no reason and after about 10 minutes I could start it normally again.
Eventually found the problem was the TDC Sensor failing with heat soak at garage or during really hot weather (>38deg C)
Old sensor had J5T23991 2509 PLC written on it.
I replaced it with 37840RJH006 Sensor from Honda which Supercedes J5T23991 2509 PLC
It was showing Fault Code P1361 when it was failed and hot.
Hope this helps.

Re: Civic crank but no start
quick and easy/free checks: move plugs and coils to see if the mis follows
realistically, prepare your rear end for potential HG change because, well, D17
