QUESTION: sorry.93 honda civic ex ,motor not sure because the motor came with purchase of car because the 1.6 was fried payed 250 for everything

Answer
If the belt is ok and the timing is correct,valve and ignition,then look for spark at the plugs or fuel pressure at the injector rail.If all are ok which i would think not,then check engine for compression on all cylinders.Why do you think the belt broke?If any engine is timed correctly with the right amount of fuel/air,and a good spark,it will run so one is off.
