Default 94 Honda Accord crank no start

I have a 94 Honda Accord ex 2.2l VTech.
I was driving the other day and when I put it in 2nd gear, it stalled. Pulled over and tried starting. It would crank but not start. All my lights worked and yes there was gas in tank. I had it towed to my house. I hear the fuel pump kicking on when turning key over. I do smell fuel after I try cranking it and then I look under hood.eI'll run down what I've done so far.
  • checked main relay. It looks fine
  • Cleaned air filter
  • Checked battery voltage it's getting 11.94
  • Replaced distributer cap and rotor
Spark plugs are new. I verified plugs are in correct sequence. I can take a picture or video if needed. I'm going to double check the spring didn't somehow come off cap for the coil. I do know that my clutch also is being a brat. I'm having to push it almost through the floor to even try to crank it. Bypassed safety switch for now with paper clip. I don't want to keep buying parts until I know what I need. Any help would be appreciated.

You should check for codes (see common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum).

You will also need to verify you have spark. There are a few simple ways to test for spark. Using a screw driver, an old spark plug, or a spark tester will all work. Watch some youtube videos on how to do this. Make sure the smell of gasoline is gone before you do this test and remove the fuel pump fuse. You don't want to start a fire.
