well, if the plugs wont fire and the dizzy's been replaced, try replacing the spark plug wires and the plugs as well.

the CEL should come on when the key is first turned the "ON" position for 5 seconds or so then go out. If you are not getting a CEL at all a wire at the ecu harness to the dash is either cut or disconnected.

as for the $200 crx not starting. You're not giving enough info. Is it turning over at all? do all of the lights on the dash come on when the key is turned on? have you checked for vacuum leaks? Have you traced out any of the wires going to the distributor? if so, where do they go?

a helms manual would be great for you right now

Hell, I bought a crx si one time for $300 with the head totally taken apart, all the vacuum lines were in a box, and the throttle body was sitting in the passenger's side floor board. I sprayed choke cleaner on EVERYTHING and put it all back together with a helms and it started right up with a fresh battery.

Then I turned around and sold it for a $1000
