1990 Da, no spark.
I was teaching my girlfriend how to drive a manual car when she stalled in the driveway. Now the car won't start. I have checked all the fuses, the Main relay and the fuel pump. Fuel is getting past the fuel filter. Then I checked for spark. There is no spark. The distributor is fairly new, the plugs are new, and the wires are new. I can't figure it out. Is there another component that I am missing. I would appreciate it if you could post here or text me 239-989-5862. Thanks.

coil is a easy one to test and if it is new or fairly new did it come unplugged or loosen up also how are the grounds and is you check engine light staying on when you put you key in the run position

THe light stays on. I checked every wire and nothing was out of place. One thing I noticed is the distributor plug was a little loose. I tightened it and still no start.

lol hmm lets see, is everything inside distributor good, coil or rotor, is cap contacts fine, if ur getting fuel i doubt its the main relay cuz that usually cuts ur fuel when ignition is on, but id say either something in ecu or distributor

Re: 1990 Da, no spark.
it was probably the coil that got smoked.. I keep a spare ignitor and coil at hand because i've had such bad luck with honda distributors lol.
