Question 93 Si Won't Start???

Well me and my girlfriend bought a 93 Si for dirt cheap. The car is clean though, but it won't start. It has electrical power, I looked at everything to make sure like distributor, spark plugs, plug wires, and I'm still confused. I even used the Haynes manual to help me out if I missed anything. I even relpaced the starter with a DX starter, thinking it might be the starter and it still doesn't crank. What else could be the problem.

Question

I'll check for everything that S.Crix just listed. And also to answer ComatoseSedan, it does not make any noise at all.

grounds? there are 2 at least. ecu fuse? under hood. check all fuses for that matter. fuel+spark+air back to the basics. go from the battery to the starter and so on.
try a tune up plugs may be fowled. check the injectors also if the fuel rail gets fuel.

OK fellas finally I have time to work on the car. Doubled check even triple check everything from the ECU codes (which there was no codes throwing at all), ground wires, wires to starter, fuses in engine bay, and in the car. Car still won't crank! AHHH! Hurting my head just thinking about it. I even tried to jump start it. But the odd thing is what my dad told me to do, he told me to push start it. It worked, but when I shut the car off and try to crank it, it did the same thing NOTHING. But while I was driving around the block, it kinda sputtered like it wanted to shut off. Have any of you fellas ran into something like this?

Ah. check the dist. coil. I had the same problem in my 93 si, although its not going to be model/year specific.

Well, Crix if you are willing to figure this problem out. Car will only start or crank only by a push start. So whats the problem?
