Default TR I need Help, Car won't start

Ok TR, my daily driver is a 96 acura integra 4 dr, stock everything, and auto.

Car ran ok at times and sometimes car would jerk while driving like bogging down. Changed fuel filter, fuel pump, cleaned injectors and put on new o rings, checked all fuel lines and seems to be fine.

Over the weekend the motor was shaking really bad, I was able to make it home (10 mile drive), parked it in the drive way. came out to check it the next day, now it won't start. It cranks but won't start.

So, then I changed the o2 sensor before the cat, now even changed the dizzy, dist. rotor, cap, spark plug wires, and plugs. I checked and it gets spark but motor not starting. Also I can smell fuel when trying to start up the car too.

I searched online and some say that it could be the TPS. I don't wanna throw more money into things that I don't need. Please help me if anyone knows. Thanks!

Also, the cel was blinking before the motor died, can't check the code, don't have a scanner. I checked the timing belt, alls fine, and TDC.

just tested the tps with my multimeter and its good. Sprayed carb cleaner into throttle body and cleaned it, tried starting with starter fluid being sprayed into TB, still not starting. WTF can be wrong?

I had the timing checked last month before I started replacing stuff, it was good. I am stumped on this one.

The tps is usually the cause of the shaking/jerking while driving, but I don't know if it'll cause the car not to start. Is there anyway you can try another throttlebody?

oh my bad didnt read that part
Im glad you could enlighten us with your intelligence. Oh wait, you had nothing constructive to say. Maybe you should shut the fuck up.

Anyway back on topic.
If it turns over check for spark, fuel, compression.

I get spark and fuel, tested the TPS already and still good. gettin frustrated, might just pull the motor and throw in another one, but I'm just afraid that if I do that, it won't start still. POS car, WTF!
