Default 97 ex 5 speed civic no spark

Was running fine, stopped and got gas it hasn't fired since. ohm coil checked ok, checked all leads to igniter ok. I can take a test light and excite ecm and make a spark out of coil. ohm wires all the way back to pcm under passanger kick board, ok. checked crank position sensor in dist ,ok back to pcm. My brain is fried, anyone have a suggestion?

Does the cam and distributor rotate when you crank? (stripped timing belt?)

When you turn the key on but don't crank, the check engine light should come on then go out. This shows the ECU has booted up.

Pull the brake handle up, then watch the BRAKE light on the dash. It should come on when you turn the key on, and stay on while cranking. This shows the ignition switch is powering up the ignition, including while cranking.

Cam is turning, first thing i checked.Engine light goes off when key turned on. It has a TEC coil in it, ohm primary at .92 and secondary 15.780.Like i said before done a input test on ICM it checked ok. Im pretty good at fixin things but this is getting the best of me.
