Please help. Researched for days and can't find solution! No spark :(
Hi, I have a 1995 Acura Integra GS-R and for some reason, my car would not start one morning after I parked it in my garage. I've been doing a ton of reading here at H-T, other forums/Google and still have not found a solution to my no spark problem. It cranks and the starter is spinning fine.
Below is what I have tried/inspected/noticed:
-Main Relay - I've listened for the click after the check engine light shuts off and it is there. I've taken it apart and looked for broken solder points but it was all intact. My fuel is working fine and I can hear the fuel pump so I don't think that my main relay could be the problem.
-I've checked the voltage with ON position and it's reading 12.3 volts from the black/yellow ignition wire near the key cylinder which I then traced to the distributor with the same voltage.
-New OEM distributor, new NGK spark plugs, new NGK spark plug wires.
-All fuses are good and even replaced the 15A ECU fuse with a different one under the hood. Replaced a few others under the dash.
-All grounds are in-tact. Valve cover to upper radiator support, thermostat housing, and transmission.
-Timing belt is brand new and I checked to see if my cam was spinning.
-Timing is dead on.
-Swapped the ECU with another running ECU from a buddy's car.
-There were no strange noises before I parked the car for the night.
-Used a different battery for the hell of it.
I'm really stumped here and don't know what else to do. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advanced for the help.

unplug the fuel/ecu 15a fuse, take the spark plug out and directly place it next to a nut/bolt and crank engine and see if you see spark igniting from spark plug wires to nut/bolt.
