After we changed the timing belt on a 95 accord 2.2L, we tried to start the engine and failed. Just to cover the basics we replaced the distributor and the coil. We think it may be the crank sensor but not sure. We also changed the fuel pump just to make sure but still will not start and does not have any spark. We also checked the spark plugs for spark and found no spark. Timing is correct.I just cannot figure it out. Can anyone help?
Thank you
Robert

How long has your 1995 Honda Accord had this problem?
RepairPal Certified shops can diagnose and repair your 1995 Honda Accord. They provide transparent pricing with a minimum 12-month or 12,000-mile warranty on repairs and services.
I like to *TEST* the fuses personally .. Since this occurred following timing belt replacement - I don't quite understand why you would replace all those parts you posted... I'm out if ammunition!
By no power you must mean no spark ... Repair damaged wiring to crankshaft position sensor - IF repairable.
Relace crankshaft position sensor- IF not..
You see this problem has got to be within the components that are related to the work that was done to the engine - all those other parts you installed are not.
The crank sensor is the only part that is even clost to the area you were working.
Good luck!
Yea, I know about the ckp sensor and I bought one but have not installed it yet because I need more positive info before I began the daunting task. And yes no power means spark.
Thank you for your kind remarks. Are you a honda mechanic?
In the owners manual index - back of book - see FUSES .. Using a 12 volt test light - test each and every fuse you can find - with key on - takes approximately 8 minutes.
You'll likely need to go back to the crank sensor.
Not limited to any one particular make or model - been in the 'automobile' repair business a VERY LONG TIME and have worked on about all of em..
Thanks, I have already done this and this lead me to the crank sensor. I thought there might be an inline fuse or a fusible link in the wiring circuit that pertained to the crank sensor.
I have been charging the battery since yesterday night so when it is charged up I will start again to find the problem.
checked them all

because i have no power to the coil, plugs to start the engine

IF battery negative cable wasn't disconnected before work began - blown fuse is a definite possibility..

Which fuse and where exactly?

The only logical conclusion is the crank sensor or the sensor wiring was damaged during timing belt replacement. That's about the only thing left.
Closely inspect the wiring outside of the timing belt cover - might get lucky!
