Use google to find these answers OP, I know it's a lot easier to just ask and get the answers but that's all I'm doing as well
What I do is go into google and type whatever issue i have, i.e. "Map sensor location" and then i type site:acurazine.com to the end so it will just limit it to searches on this site. You have an 18 year old car, the issues you're running into, others have run into as well

It's strange that you say you have spark, but starter fluid won't make it run.
Here's a post which fixed a P1129 by finding a vacuum leak at the TB gasket:
Need some repair input advice...p1129 code thrown. - Honda-Tech
And in the link in my post 25 in this thread, a member swapped out the engine coolant temp (ECT) sensor and solved all his problems (which sound a bit like yours).
But there are too many unknowns for us (me, at least) on the internet to diagnose the problem, so I think you should let a local Honda specialist mechanic have a look at it.

throttle body cleaner or brake cleaner works in a pinch too.

I know you're young but the sooner you learn the value of "the right tool for the job" the better off you'll be.. Just go to the nearest auto parts store and pick up a can!

I've merged your thread because it's the same issue and you're not doing yourself any favors by starting a new one without having people know the full story.
Have you cleaned your throttle body, IACV, MAP sensor like suggested earlier with Carb cleaner/Throttle body cleaner/brake cleaner?

Yes.
You need to go buy some proper cleaner to clean the IACV/MAP and TB.

Sorry for the late reply you guys After putting in so much money in the car i came to my end the car was running about 300k miles i got it used and it had 4 other owners after really just sitting and looking at what was not done to the car over time the timing Belt was post to be changed at like 4 or 5 times by now and i was hearing this weird sound from it.....and it could be a bad pully.....so to confirm my idea before i spent 500$ i took it to the honda dealership and they looked at it for 145$ and confirmed for me that i was off time and had bad timing belt that was off by 2 teeth ....witch was making the car not start...... so i order my parts they just got here Friday i will pay the 400$ to get it put back in take and kit installed .....and hopfully it will go great for me.......... but somthing told me it was bad timing all along i was just hoping it was not

the abnormal "clicking" noise heard in the video of your 02/24/2017 post, sounds very much like a failed bearing in the accessory drive belt tensioner assembly. be sure to check that assembly during your timing belt replacement as the accessory drive belt must be removed in the process. due to the intensity of the noise, failure of the pulley bearing should be, but may not be obvious when spinning the pulley by hand. at 300K, it would be prudent,. in the interest of preventative maintenance, to replace it, since you will be working in that area anyway. Delray OEM Acura parts lists it as part # 31170-P8F-A07 for $107.11. an eBay search of that part number shows item # 281475416235, supposedly OEM, for $17.00 with free shipping (caveat emptor)
