Default Engine not starting

Driving down the interstate my 1992 Accord LX died last week. Started by replacing fuel filter, no fix. Replaced fuel pump, no fix. Replaced Rotor/Distributor cap/spark plugs, no fix. Replaced Coil, no fix.

Engine turns and gas is getting into the cylinders but no start. Tested Power output from coil and it is giving me 0 spark. Can't find a fuse or relay that would correspond to the coil/starter. Maybe some fused wiring or something?? About to break down and take it to a shop. But any suggestions before I do??

Thanks in advance.

Relay looks fine. No burning/breaking in it at all. Looks clean. (Could it still be bad??) Also the fuel pump is working for sure.

I have the same problem with my 93 Accord. I am looking for a fix but, in the mean time i turn the key until i see the check engine light. Wait for it to go off. Then turn the key a little until you hear a click. Finally turn the engine over and hopefully it will start. It works on my car. Sometimes I have to try it a few times.
