Default 95 Died while Driving and Won't Start

Alright so I have a 95 srv 2.2l vtec 5spd and was driving home from my friends house when the rpms dropped and stalled out on me. I tried to start it but no go, it tries to turn over but it never happens, well it happened once and lasted about 10 seconds then died out again.

I am not getting a spark, or so i'm told, and I have tried changing the distributor, ignition coil, main relay, and my battery is good. None of these have worked.

What else am I lookin at here?

are you sure you are getting fuel? can you smell gas after trying to start the car?

alot of honda seems to have bad main relay. this relay control fuel, but if you don't spark, this can be your control module inside the dissy.

my 5th gen is doing this right now, my god father owns a shop I brought it too and her messed with the control module inside the dizzy and the car started again and runs and turns off and runs and turns off but after a while of running it will just die out again... so I'm replacing the module... I'll let you know tomorrow how that works... but I'm getting mine form advnaced for 81

I'd agree, it sounds like the symptoms of an ignitor going bad.
