Default 1990 integra wont start

Ok, this is it. about a week ago, my car stopped running. i didnt hear the fuel pump prime at all. so i replaced it and it still wouldnt start. come to find out i had a bad main relay. well i resoldered it, and it worked fine for about 3 days, then all of a sudden, i come home one night, park my car and im about to flip the kill switch, but before i did, my car just shuts off, and my check engine light comes on. i turn it off, and try to start it, but no start. i hear no fuel pump, and see not one blink on the ECU. even when i first turn the key, not one single blink. so i replaced the main relay with one from the junk yard, looked pretty brand new, and it still didnt start. i took it out resoldered it and still no go. so im gettin no power to the ecu, and hear no fuel pump. wut can be the problem?

can it be either one of these:
1: ignition coil
2: ignition switch
3: igniter
4: or just anything to do with the ignition

ima go check the fuses, but i checked them once already.

oh yeah, my check engine light just stays on, it wont go off after the 2 sec period.

check if you getting sparks thru your spark plug wires and if not then its your distributor or igniter and ignition coil
one way to chec if your getting spark is to get a spark plug and plug in the spark plug wires then have it touch to a metal and try to start it ..if you dont see a spark then change your igniter and ignition coil
hope that helps....
