Default Need Answer for Ignition Problem ASAP!

I have a 1994 Acura Integra RS sedan. I just bought a new starter and the car cranks but wont start. I had someone take a look at it and said it could be my ignition coil because the way it looked. Any ideas of what can the problem be would help. THANK YOU!

Theres no type of corrosion on the rotor or cap. We checked the spark plugs for spark and all 4 have spark. Can it be that its not strong enuff spark to start up the car? and also there is sounds as if there was only air coming out the headers. hmm?

+1 for main fuel relay under the dash. Also, I know this sounds wacky but b series has issues running if the ground wire is not well attached to a ground spot or if it became detached from the battery and or if the alternator fuse is burned out.

You need to test for fuel/spark.. Then go from there.

I test fuel pump. and its good. i checked for spark and theres spark. but im wondering is there enuff power from the spark to start the car? As in my ignition coil is faulty. one of my friends from Wyotech has told me that he checked my ignition coil and told me it was in bad condition so therefore to replace it. so im wondering if thats the problem because im heading to autozone right now to buy an ignition coil and thats $67 plus tax
