Starting issues, any help appreciated
I've been a lurker here for while and found some awesome how to's that have helped me immensely but I can't figure this one out.
car info
1992 Honda Civic DX 4 door
d16y7 from a 2000 civic
170k on engine
It was my daily driver from Dec. 2013 until last week. I drove it less than 10k miles a year the entire time I had it. In the last year I have had starting issues on at least three different occasions. Since July of last year I have replaced the battery, starter, distributor/cap/rotor, alternator rebuilt, plugs, wires, fuel pump, fuel filter, air filter, all ignition fuses and relays including master relay.
Last week I drove drove to the gas station less than a mile from my house got gas and when I went to leave the car wouldn't start at all, towed it back to my house and have been stumped for the last two days. The plugs aren't fouled, and I'm getting spark. Still won't turn over. It did backfire once but just won't start. I've checked grounds, connectors, and wires. I'm at a loss . Luckily I've got another vehicle I can use in the meantime but, I've got to get it running. Any ideas?

Possibly the ignition switch is faulty:https://www.google.com/search?num=50...k1.oDoBAXvxnrk
