Default Car wont start. No spark

Well for some reason my car wouldnt start today, it turned over and everything like it wanted to start, so i opend up the hood, stuck a screw driver in one of the spark plug boots and held the metal on the screw drive to the nut on top of the valve cover...

Looked like i wasnt getting any spark...

What could it be?

the ignitor? or somthing else?

on your 82 accord you should check the connection to the voltage regulator on the passenger side fender well; also there is a service bulletin about the vacum dashpot for the vent controls that might need to be resealed.

You should really consider changing your screen name man. Have you inspected the coil and igniter?

I would check if you gettin a spark on the coil. If you do check cap and rotor n go down the line.
Alternator wont give you spark loss, its just keeping tha system charged.
