Default 92 Civic Wont Start. Why?

I've read quite a bit on here about my civic. To begin with the car would die here and there when i would be driving down the road, all i would have to do is wait like five mins. Or so, and the car would start back up. Over time it has gotten worse, now it wont start at all. It turns over just fine but wont start. I have replaced the wires, plugs, cap, rotor. Didnt work, so i brought it to a mechanic, he said it wasnt getting enough spark and told me to replace the distributor, and i did, that didnt work. Thought he might have been an idiot, so i tried a few things myself, i replaced the fuel filter, didnt work, then i replaced the fuel pump, didnt work, then i brought the car back to him and he said it might be the computer, so i figured what the hell, and got a new one, didnt work, gave up on the mechanic, read some stuff on this site and replaced the main relay, and still nothing, my battery became shot, i replaced it, and now i need more help......hoping someone can help me stop spending money. I know im probably stupid for doing all that but i really wanted it fixed. Please help.

Wow You Really Love The Shift Key.

I would suggest you acquire a Service Manual and follow the step by step instructions to diagnose your "No Start" problem. There is no way to tell you what is wrong without detailed specific information and electrical measurements.

Capitalizing every word makes reading the text difficult -edited.

Does the starter motor crank the engine?

Does the fuel pump prime?

Is there bright white spark at the plugs?

Have you checked the mechanical timing?

Any CEL codes?
