Question CIVIC not starting up

Need help. Please..
My friend just bought a 1996 4dr Honda Civic 196000 mileage but according to the previous owner, the engine is rebuilt. The engine has a turbo but stock internals. Last week, his car broke down and it won't start. The engine is cranking but not starting up. I'm more familiar with Miata engine but not civic's but I need tips/ advice to help him fix his car. The engine light is always on but I think that's because of the turbo. What is the main cause of the engine fail/not starting up? where can I locate the Camshaft Angle Sensor (CAS)? could be a clogged up fuel filter? no spark from the distributor cap/coil pack? Need help please.
