Default My car dont Start, has gas, but no spark.

Well been about a month since this sh*t happend but i miss my car and wanna drive it again . Heres the story. "I was driving all day for about 2 hours back and forth running a few arrends. I come home to grab something and take off 20 minutes later. As i leave my house my car all of a sudden doesnt move. I give it gas and it stutters, but under 2k rpm it would go. so i go around the block and it keeps doing this. Then i floor the gas peddle and the car doesnt do nothing, it bogges and just dies. I roll it home and i cant get it to start, cranks but dont turn over. I changed the fuel filter still nothing. I check for spark, and no spark. I got the coil tested and its fine(pretty new, but tested at autozone) its getting gas cause i took out the spark plugs and i can smell the gas. The engine is a 1995 b18b in a 1995 civic cx. I just had gotten the car Bar'ed and passed the first try Now im just tired and need a few pointers on what to look for. Should i replace the dist.? tst other bull ****? thanks guys, hope to get my cr running again soon.

One thing you can also try is the Ignitor chip in the Dist.

my friends car did the samething. everytime u step on the gas, the car bogs and it stalls. we found out that the dizzy has some sort of oil or water in it and the cap was bad. replace it and it was good to go.

Ignition Control Module, or ICM. You can have them tested at Honda I believe for cheap. Better than paying for it and not needing it if the old one's good still.
