Default No Spark...WHY??????

i have a turbo 98 integra gsr and at the moment does not run because it is not getting any spark. I have known my ignitor was going bad for some time so i replaced that, and still nothing. so i replaced my ignition coil, spark plug wires, swaped ecu's swapped emanage's, new plugs, new main relay fuse, the cap and rotor are about 1000miles old. what the hell could be causing me not to get spark after i replaced everything that i can think of that would cause this?? the only thing i can possibly think of is the ignition harness on my emanage. but the emanage has been in for more than a year without a problem. how could it have gone bad? i didnt even know that an ignition harness could go bad
any help would be greatly appreciated

Does anything come on w/ the turn of the key? If not check your main relay under the hood.

any way the harness itself could have gotten botched in some way to make it not spark?

You might wanna try continuity tests between the wires coming from the ecu, going to the distributor.

Is the wireharness arcing on the motor at all there maybe short? If not the distributor it could also be the computer try put a your ecu in a friends car with similiar swap, u can try to putt another ecu in yur car, or u can also do this with distributor. Also check check ign fuse (15 amp) in the fuse box in the dash and the engine bay ? Hopefully this works or steers u to the problem but if u find the problem please let me know ok?
