well then, since the firing order is right, fuel is right... it could be numerous things... here's a few things u can check up on... the igniter or ignition coil might be out... but the common thing on hondas is the main relay or the igniter. test ur fuel pump too.. let me know how things turned out...

grab a haynes or chiltens + multimeter and test ur primaries and secondaries on the coil while hot and cold. Your testing for resistance (OHM's)
