Default 2002 f23a1 starting problem

I have a 2002 Honda accord.. I blew up the motor and changed it.. the new motor I put in ran when I took it out of the parts car.. I cant get it to run (there is no spark) I changed the distributor, wires and plugs, still no go.. wondering if anyone can help me out here..

oh, I have a broken plugin too, its right above the oil filter, its the one on the left and im not sure what its for, could this be my problem?

That is a knock sensor plug in. Should be to the left of the oil sending unit right above the
Oil filter. It should still run evening with this broke just make it go into limp mode. Check all of your ground wires really good.

When you turn the ignition to ON, does the Check Engine Light come on for approximately 2 seconds and then turn off? If not, does the Check Engine Light doesn't come on or stays on?

Check that ground G101 located on the intake manifold is clean and secured.

My engine light stays on, I put it on my code reader to see why, and as soon as I plug it in, the light goes out and the code reader says it can't connect to the vehicle.. Then as soon as I unplug it, the light comes back on..

Recheck the main ground (G101) to be sure it is on and clean and tight.

EDIT: #16 in the pic
