Default Honda Civic dx 1990 turns over but wont start

For a while it would start then turn off sometimes while i was driving on the freeway. A few weeks ago it stopped starting altogether. I just replaces the dist cap, rotor and ignition coil and it still wont start. Does anyone have any ideas? Anything would be greatly appreciated im super frustrated.

Thanks,
Michael

its fixable,if you have 12v at the ylw/blk wire going to the distributor,then its something in the distributor or the distributor itself.
if you do not have 12v to the distributor,its either your main relay,ignition switch or possibly the ecu.
