no spark
i have a 90 accord lx 2dr one day coming down the interstate my car just lost power and i had to have it towed home. I tested the plug wires they are new 10.2 mm wires no spark came out, i put in a new coil and rotor still no spark i tested the iginition pack its not that.. i brought the number on piston to TDC and timed the car thinking it may be 180 out now im thinking it may be that the distributor is bad but i dunno any suggestions ?

first off make sure u did not brake the timing belt, crank engine and make sure rotor spins,,if not replace t-belt ,,,,,,if ok.......Get a test lite, remove distr cap. put key on , make sure u get power at both coil wires,, put test lite at negative side of the coil, have a friend crank the engine , if test lite pulsates u got a bad coil........if no pulsation u got a bad ignitor ........
