No CEL, No Start, Engine Cranks

Hello everyone! I am having an issue I can't seem to figure out. Did timing belt, water pump and replaced the o-rings on the pipe behind the thermostat housing. Now when I turn the key to the ON position the CEL and oil light do not light up. Engine cranks, but no sign of it starting. There is fuel pressure, no spark, and i am assuming no pulse at the injectors. It seems as if the ECU has no power. All fuses are also good. Please help!

Mike

Did you forget to hook up a sensor or something? Id check all my connections first.

Yep, double checked all connections and fuses. Everything looks good.

Did you do anything with the ignition immobilizer?

Yep, timing is dead on. Double check it. #1 at TDC, the crank is on mark, camshafts are dead on as well as the balancer shaft.

I haven't messed with those sensors. I only took out the cam pulley and cover to be able to replace the water pump. I have started taking everything apart to see once again if I have missed something. Everything looks right, yet something isn't : (

Thanks a lot for the helpful suggestions so far OLD_HATCH, I really appreciate it.

Not sure but check for either the crank sensor or maybe even the ignition module. Probably likely to be crank sensor though. I spoke with you on Acura-Legend.com forum I am surprised you haven't figured it out by now but don't give up. Make some sense for the crank sensor not sending the signal to the spark plugs to attempt to start but check the voltage before any assumptions.

I thought that TL looked familiar : ) Thanks a lot for the support bro. Yeah, I still haven't figured it out. Haven't been able to work on the for the past week. I've been working on couple big projects and haven't had the time. I should be able to get to it this weekend. It's the first time I am digging that deep on the C series. Usually I work more on the D,B and H series. I will check some voltages this weekend and post the results.

The project took a bit longer than I thought. I've been trying to find out how to test the crack sensor. In the service manual it only shows how to replace it. I've ordered the electric troubleshooting manual, hope that it would help solve the issue. Other than that, no progress so far : (
