Default 2001 acura gsr help please

i need some help ....

b18c1 with ctr pistons in it with a fresh rebuild...

ok the motor started out only running on cylinders 2 and 3 and wouldnt idle of course. went and got new plug wires and new plugs and it wont start at all....

i'm still getting spark from the distributor although it seems its a little faint compared to my buddy's b series...

im at a loss..i would think that it has enough spark to start up like it did. it would run fine with a little gas to it, but now it wont even act like it wants to start..

there is plenty of fuel pressure, 40+psi while cranking.

compression test came out perfect.

could the dizzy go bad but still spark a little. would it be worth replacing the coil or that other thing on the inside or just the whole dizzy?

please shed some light on a non-honda person.....suby guy here.

Distributor or wrong firing order. Wrong gap setting on the plugs for those cylinders, bad crank angle, tuning (s300 or Crome, etc?), etc, etc.

Leak down tests performed? So much more information needed. I'm assuming there is spark present at every wire?

check grounds.. also, if for some reason, someone wired in a resistor box for larger injectors, make sure the resistor box is ONLY going to the injectors... seen a few where they spliced into other power wires leading to some strange problems...
