Default My 94 civic 2-dr would not start, please help

I went to the store nearby the other day and on the way back the engine abruptly cut off. I had it towed to my house and checked everything I could. There is no spark. The ecu code did not show anything - check engine light was constantly on when I had the test plug jumped. Battery is fully charged. High voltage cables have acceptable resistance, distributor coil shows no broken circuit. Distributor rotor resistance is 0.6 ohm.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Mike.

Could it be a distributor cap?

Yes I did. The timing belt was replaced about 15,000 miles ago. OEM - purchased from Honda dealer. It currently has no cracks or missing teeth. Tensioned per Honda manual. As the engine is not running I can not check/adjust the timing, but right after I installed the belt I did timing using the timing light and since then engine has been running really good until it died.

Yes, all the fuses are fine underhood and in the cabin.
I have ordered a used distributor online. I hope it will solve a problem.

Thanks for your help. Mike.

sounds like a coil problem, mine has done the same thing quite a few times. they sell just the coil packs at the parts store. they are about 60 bucks.
