it could be that the ignition coil or ignition control module has gone bad inside of the distributor.

Chances are that either one OR both could be your problem. Borrow one from a friend to test on yours b4 you go out to buy one. I had this issue with my DC in the past. BUT first check for spark b4 you do anything else!

^Well, it is poitless to check the plugs if he has no power.
Pull out your volt meter and trace the 12Volts starting from the battery.

Check your connections at the starter and battery.

Also check the main underhood fuse, but it is probably one of the above connections. If you aren't getting any power to your accessories either, it is the underhood fuse or connection at the battery. Was there alot of corrosion on the terminals?

re-check your connections, check if the ground is grounded 100% on the body

i had my ground fall off and i overlooked it, cuz i was just looking at the connections on the battery terminals..

IT'S THE TIMING BELT. maybe. that happened to my cousin's prelude. he changed everything that could be the problem, then he found out the timing belt was broken.
