Default Honda Civic 2000 won't start

My Honda Civic was starting fine everyday. Yesterday, it cranked over, but wouldn't start. Checked my fuses; all good. Checked my spark; no spark. I replaced the coil with a used one. The car started three times only. Now it doesn't start again. Can anyone give me an idea as to why it started and now it doesn't.

Welcome to the Accord Forum...

When you turn your key to ON can you hear the Fuel Pump prime? If not it may be your main relay is failing.

Yes, I do hear my fuel pump prime but still no spark. Any other suggestions? Also, can you tell me how many cables are suppose to bring power from the computer to the distributor when you are cranking?

Dizzy=distributor. It is the piece that all the spark plug wires are plugged into. It basically is told by the camshaft when to send spark to which spark plug for which piston
