have you tried to check the timing yet because it is a common honda problem to slip timing make sure all of your distubitor bolts are tight
rubbish. it's common for the cam belt to skip making it look like the timing's off, but that's not the fault of the distributor bolts. and anyone thinking they can mess with the distributor to sort out a skipped cam belt is utterly clueless.
how would i fix that? i really dont want 2 pay a dealer
start with tegger.com and go to the no-start faq. work through that and get back with specific questions if it doesn't help you.
now here's the important bit: "the quality of the answers you receive depend on the quality of your question".
im changin the timing belt but i cant get the crank pulley off
It's a challenge! See
i got the pulley off and i got all new belts lined up and new water pump but it still wont run
You didn't use the starter to turn the engine for lining things up without loading the ignition coil, I hope. If the engine is cranked with the distributor cap off or the plug wires off it can mean curtains for the ignition coil.

no i just used a socket wrench on the crank pulley to line it up
