I'll do that tomorrow morning and post the results.

Is this the carb-injected or fully injected arrangement?

Fully injected.

Have you tried a squirt of starter fluid while cranking?

Yes, and got a very impressive backfire through the throttle body.

OK, it's next morning; I didn't get back last night.

The others are basically correct imo, too, you're timing is screwed up.
You've demonstrated spark to my satisfaction; if there is a plug issue
it'll be sufficiently minor to be dealt with later if it's still running
a little badly; not that they're not firing so skip ignition issues.

Either you have swapped firing order w/ the plug wires or you've slipped
a timing belt cog or the like...

Not sure about the sensors on that engine whether it's possible to get a
polarity problem or otherwise screw up the indicated position while the
mechanical is ok or not...the old Honda CRX lost the timing belt and
tagged the valves so be careful cranking if it's actually out; you
possibly could do same depending on particular engine.

IRRC..there is a crank position sensor.....
