Default URgent Car wont start

so i drove my car from the street to the driveway and now it wont start again?? it is turning over but just not starting and i believe that i have spark cuz i pulled one plug wire off and it was sparkin and befor when i would really slam on the gas it would like skip or miss i guess u could say and the check engine light would come on. The people at the parts store said i sould give it a really good tune up and that should fix it by tune up they mean cap rotor wires and plugs. but it is so odd it just wont start now and like 10 mins a go it was fine. by the way it is a 91 accord lx auto if that helps

Ignition Swith Check

try turning the key, but don't let go when it turns over, hold the key turned between the start and on position, turn it close to the "start" position, if it stays started while you are holding the key up, its the ignition switch, good luck.

Next check ignition coil
