Default Civic won't start?

I just bought a 93 civic, and the guy i bought from said that he was driving it one day, and it just died, and wouldn't start back up. It will turn over, and act like it wants to start, but it seems that it won't get a spark. Didn't know if this is happened to someone before? Thanks

take your spark plug wires out and put them on the valve cover if you see a ark then it is your spark plugs if it dosnt ark then it is behind your wires like distributor or ground maby your time ing to just do the spark plugs and post what happend cause i think every one needs more info

Could be numerous amounts of things..

If you don't know alot about car,engines,etc (not saying you dont) i wouldn't reccomend taking your distributor apart to check your ignitor and coil.. Try an autozone one and just replace it (if you can)

The same thing happened to me in my si hatch (d16z6) going down the road and it died.. turned out to be my ignitor (icm)

Also can you hear the fuel pump priming?

i know that the ignition swith can go bad and make the car wont start. the whole thing about testing your plugs ont he valve cover that can send fly back voltage to your coil and fry that so id check that again
