Default 2005 S2000 Won't Start

I just picked a badly wrecked 05 s2000. Not a straight panel left. I get the power hooked to find out it has only 69000kms. It turns over fine, I have fuel but no spark. I checked all the fuses. Any suggestions.
Both airbags deployed and the belt fired. I removed the aftermarket alarm as well and spliced everything back to stock. I will try to get back at it tomorrow.

Thanks

I had a Nissan Max with an intermittent cam sensor, car would not start when the sensor acted up.

maybe a ground wire broke in the accident or a sensor wire.

I have read that when the airbags go off it kills the spark and Honda has to reprogram it. But not sure. I checked the grounds there all good.

While that might sound plausible I didn't see anything in the SRS section of the shop manual to state that, you think it would be in there somewhere. You might try to unplug the SRS control unit and see if that helps.

I'm just throwing this out there from left field, but possibly spark plugs or the wires? Coil packs? My first guess was reset of the ECU though

Car had no battery when I bought it so its reset. I could take one of my coils and try it, nothing to lose. Good idea fluky.

Thanks

To me it sounds like an electrical issue within the spark/ignition area of the car. Have you checked the coil packs or spark plugs?
