he has recently replaced the spark plugs and the ignition wires..and still has his old once i believe...
he also changed the distributor...he has a b20 motor on his integra....he has gas and everything but it still won't power up...
some one told him he may have a ECU problem...he tried all he could but still not working...
that's pretty much what he wanted to say...
i think it also maybe the ECU...did you change the motor recently?...was it working like day before it shut off?...like if you just did a motor sway..and tried to turn on the car..i think it may have been the ECU i think it uses a different Ecu..i could be wrong..

Could be your fuel pump even though you checked if its getting fuel it can still be the fuel pump not cranking out what it should. I had the same problem on my first integra and I narrowed it down to the fuel pump I changed it with an extra one I had and it worked and never had a problem after that

oh man, where the hell do u learn to type like that.. you just made my brain hurt reading all that..
check color of your spark. check to see if fuel pump is priming. check your main relay. check your ecu. if its flashing an engine lights check to see the code. check condition of wires.

^ Don't mean to bash the thread or anything and neither am I hating on you lol. But, just type in proper English. Not that hard 
I assume you're a high school kid?
Here's the automatic transalation guys:
What do you mean by the colour of the spark?? What colour should it be? And where can I find the Main Relay ?? Firing order of the spark plugs is right and will not fire up though
P.S. : There's other people out here that do not understand the whole slang business. Make your statements understandable for everyone. That way you will have a wide variety of people helping you out instead.

colour of the spark determines how strong the spark is. you could have spark but it could be as weak as a 90 year old man trying to have a boner.
main relay is under steering wheel
check if your receiving fuel to the fuel rail.

first go grab some quick start or small amount of fuel. pull intake tube off and get someone to crank it and either spray some quick start in it or fuel.(basically priming the car) see if it kicks over if not check the firing order you might have mixed em up, or could be faulty distributer. if it does kick over then you got a fuel problem. check the main relay to see if its sticking or if someone has a working one slap it in and if she goes its all good if not then most likely the fuel pump.
you can even get someone to crank it over and you laydown and smack the fuel tank with a hammer or mallet. sometime it might kick over.
hope all goes well man.
oh main relay is usually under dash on driverside.

Thank you. No I didn't do the swap by myself. When I got the car the engine came with it swapped already and the car was working fine for 2 years prior. What happened was, I was driving home in third gear and then the rpm just went down and then after that the engine light turned on. The next day someone told me that it's probably just my distributor and I checked it and the magnet inside the distributor was split in half already, so I bought a new one and put it on. I tried starting it, but it just cranks. It won't power up, so can this really be an ECU problem??
Seriously people, take some english courses and stay off MSN!

Well said. I just figure that if you're going to be a part of society at least learn how to write the ------- language out properly so others can understand. It's not too much to ask.
