Default Thought it was the distributor.... what now?

I have a 96 civic DX. one night i was getting pretty low on gas, i parked in my garage and everything seemed fine. in the morning my car wouldn't start. I got a diagnostic at a place im now not sure if i should trust, they said i needed a new distributor, cap, plugs, etc. i first tried a new ignition coil and cap and rotor. then i tried another distributor (used) and swapped the coil, then swapped the igniter as well. still no good. so i just got a new distributor off ebay and guess what, no luck there either. for the love of god someone please tell me what it could be. i do believe it gets fuel pressure. i have not switched the plugs out yet. i did test one of the plugs on the engine block adnd it doesnt seem to be sparking to well. any help would be greatly appreciated.
