Having difficulty getting my car started, please help.
Hi I have a 93 del sol s model with the d15b7.
I was at the gas station getting something to drink and when i was leaving my car cranked up fine until I backed out of the spot and then died. I tried push starting it with no luck.
I have replaced the distributor, cap, rotor, and plug wires.
The fuel pump is priming and i unbolted the bolt on top of the fuel filter and turned it to the on position and it spewed out gasoline, so i have fuel.
I pulled off my main relay and the solder joints were still all intact. could it still be bad?
I'm pretty stumped about what it could be. Any and all help is appreciated, i really need to get this car back on the road!

and well does it crank? and not start or what

I'm sorry, i'm not sure of the proper terminology,
The starter is spinning. but it doesn't start.
I checked the plug wires for spark and there was none, so i took a volt meter and checked both my ignitor and coil and both had 12 volts while the engine was being cranked which dropped to 6 volts but the coil didn't spark or anything.
also, there are no CEL codes.
I'm still confused.
If it was the ignition switch, the starter wouldn't spin would it?

some more info, i checked and the coil is good based on the ohm specs posted here https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/testing-ignition-coils-ohms-good-bad-2830157/

I have fuel, i don't have spark.
I have a new distributor, and i checked and the coil is good, and i believe the ICM is good.
I'm very confused.
I even swapped out an ecu to see if that was the reason.
