Default No spark after new distributor?

Alright so my car doesn't want to turn on.
It cranks but it does not turn over.
We thought it was the dizzy but even after a new dizzy it still gives no
spark to the plugs...
I don't know what could be the troubles?
Anybody have any suggestions on what it could be....
Oh we also tried changing the main relay but again still didn't solve the problem.

Thank you

There's a no-start link in the FAQs. Check it out.

Check fuses broken, step after that to main relay with a simple jumper from the yellow and black to 3 yellow and white , or might be the all red or green and blue to jump fuel pump primer, after that ecu might have a bad rom, or re-rom (if modded) , a open ground won't prevent the car from starting unless its In line with your fuel / instrumental panel! Then u got to worrie

Sounds like both 2 me! Honda wiring is a pain but easy and enjoyable to work with after you get familiar with the set-up and ect!

well all the fuses seem to be in good working condition.
we checked the main relay and that was good.
I don't have much of an understanding of the color wires your trying to explaiN? I'm not too inform of all this so...if you can explain in better detail it would greatly help me out!
The ecu is not modded. Everything is stock.

Much thanks for all the info.

well a couple of weeks ago i was driving my car and all of a sudden it turned off.
After maybe 20 minutes or so it started working.

On thursday however i drove to school and car seemed fine. But when i was about to leave from school maybe 7 hours later the car just wouldn't start. So i think theirs an on going problem ever since it had turned off on me while driving.
