prelude turns but doesn't start

hey how are you all?

i have a 99 prelude 5 speed with 111,xxx miles on the body and a thousand on the rebuilt engine. the issue is that i try to start it and it just won't engage. i have taken a look at everything but coudnt find the problem. i checked to see if the fuel pump was working and it is, i checked the distributor and i dont think it that either. i have come to realize that im not getting any spark at all. i have checked the website completely with not answer and now i dont know what it could be. i dont know what to do and i just need help.

thanks,
johnny

So the car turns over, but won't start? Making sure I read your situation correctly.

the right way to put it is that theres no spark, and it wont turn on. everything else is working fine, wen i went to test to see any spark theres was none. then i checked the distributor it spun but thats it so thinking it could be the module in the distributor i changed it had spark for maybe 10 min or so and it didnt turn on. then the day after it lost spark again. i know fuel is going through to the engine so thats not the problem. it turned on about a month ago to the point where it struggled to stay on, i checked the rpms wen it was doing this it was at 0, 2 minutes into it it hit 1000 rpms but blowing blue smoke because my o2 sensor went bad. i just hit the point where i am completely lost...

i figured it out that the car will not spark unless the oil pressure sensor is connected right with the wire that goes to it its located right under the oil filter. (in my situation )but if it doesnt runt then check to see if the timing belt is being turned
