Still no fuel to the fuel rail so I check voltage at
the pump and nothing so I replaced the wire from the
fuse block to the pump now I get fuel then when I try
to start it nothing but cranking. so I check for spark
at the plugs nothing so now I move to check the coil
again nothing a few minutes later I have the coil out
and check for voltage at the wires that feed the coil.
+12V on one and +7 on the other so since I had voltage
there I figured those reading were ok I replace the
coil.
Still no spark after talking to someone that said my
Crank angle sensor could have gone bad I investigated
to find in the haynes manual for a 93 SE-R you have to
replace the whole distributor assembly with that done
still no spark."

I have a very similar problem with my street NX.
I believe that I still have fuel, but I am getting no spark.  I also got an
error code for a bad crank angle sensor, so I followed the FSM procedure for
checking both the circuit and the sensor itself.  The test showed good
wiring and a bad sensor, but I had replaced the distributor with a known
good unit the night that the trouble happened and it still did not start.
It is possible that I forgot to hook something up when I did the swap in a
parking lot at 10:30 PM, but there is not that much to miss.
I'm going to try that again in the next few days, so we'll see what happens.
I'll post any progress that I make.

JGY, the check will go out Monday :-)
