Default 95 honda civic dx not starting

the other day my honda decided that it doesn't want to start. it acts like it wants to but doesn't. i can hear the fuel pump turn on. changed the fuel filter, checked compression on the spark plugs, checked the arc on the wires, plugs are wet, changed coil on distributer and added octane boost to gas. still nothing. when i tried to get the error code by putting a paper clip into the jumper, instead of the CEL blinking out an error code, it stays lit up and the SRS light continuasly blinks, not like giving a code. any and all help would be appreciated.

blaster in the distributer? do you mean the ignition coil? that is what we changed. it did seem to want to start more when we changed that but still didn't start. the plugs did have spark, although it wasn't 100% spark

How about checking the coils themselves to see if they are still within specs cause according to experts a weak spark (yellowish not white) is a possible indicator that the coil is not up to specs. Check Helms manual or search H-T . I believe RonJ has links in his sig to do this. You will need a multimeter
