Icon6 94 civic hatchback cranks no start

I have no spark but it rotates. No spark from spark wires and distributor coil doesn't get spark. I swapped igniter and the coil and still nothing. I also checked the power wire the yellow/green that goes into the distributor and im getting power... Should I just get a whole new one or am I missing something.

I put the test light on the positive and negative lines that attaches to the coil and I'll get the light when it turns over but doesn't flicker. Light stays illuminated without flicker...

I used that video to troubleshoot my issue. So here's a update... I ended up buying a new distributor. Installed it and ran it up and still no spark... I'm not sure what my next step should be... I maybe thinking the ECU. When I click the key over to II, I wont even get the engine check light on my cluster on...

Well if anyone has this issue I think I got it down now... I had to clean up my grounds on the motor and scrap some of the paint on it and retight it. Plus my main relay will need to be replaced because the only way I can get it to work was to tap it to get the circuit to complete. But I got the car to start after changing the ACG fuze under the dash. I kept blowing it. I put a higher fuze because the orginal fuze is a 15A and I put a 30 and my VSS ground started to bubble. So I'm gonna rewire my VSS wires and put a new fuze in there and see how it goes.

What was missing in your posted information was whether the fuel pump would prime, which it obviously didn't. This key missing information delayed solving the problem.
