The ignition coil is inside the distributor as well as the ignitor/ignition module. Both of these electronic parts will fail over time.
Did you buy a new or used distributor? Did you swap over parts from one distributor to the other? If you bought a new distributor, and you didn't swap any parts over, and the car runs, then it is pretty safe to assume that it came with a new coil and ignitor.

i would highly recommend an automotive shop at this point. it is VERY clear you have no automotive experience, and a no start condition is a pain to troubleshoot when you dont know what a distributor is.
It was new distributor.
mechanic told me, either computer(ECU??) or Main Relay.
also mechanic checked, there is no problem with the fuel injection.
And New fuel pump, new spark plug.
... I am very tired of this....
Could anyone... help me please...
p.s Should I just go to Acura dealar to get diagonostic? for$80?,,,,
What would you do...
I really dont want to spend big money on this car...

Your car needs 3 things to run; spark, fuel, and compression. Diagnosing the cause of problems is the real sign of a competent mechanic. You want to only replace the failed item. But some mechanics just want to sell you many items and charge for more and more labor. There are ways to test components and systems to narrow down the cause of the problem to a single part, or maybe two.
If you weren't getting spark, then there is no reason to swap the fuel pump and relay, and if you weren't getting fuel, there is no reason to swap to a new distributor. Sounds like he is on a fishing expedition with your footing the bill and paying for his next vacation. Ask for all of your old parts back, maybe you can use as spares or sell for alittle money back--esp. your distributor.
The Honda dealer or a mechanic familiar with Hondas, should be able to narrow down the cause of your problem with their experience working on similar models. Your situation is exactly why I bought a Helm's manual and it has saved me thousands of dollars over the years, literally. Good luck to you, and I mean that because I feel your pain.
