Default My 97 honda civic Dx will not get spark to the plugs

My spark plugs are not getting spark. I changed the whole distributor ( coral, ignition module) etc. it's not the fuel, it's not the air. It's not the timing belt or compression, it's not the ecu or any fuses, it's not a fuel pump, it's not the crankshaft or cam sensor. I put a test light on everything and it seems to not be getting power from my rotor or distribur and there both new. Someone please help! I know quite a bit about cars and never experienced anything like this! It's not out of time either my timing belt is fine

Just because the timing belt is fine doesn't mean the timing in dead on. The belt could of slipped. Make sure you set it to TDC to confirm the belt didn't slip. Its ignition coil and module. https://honda-tech.com/forums/honda-civic-del-sol-1992-2000-1/98-civic-ex-no-spark-2871914/

Sorry, when I set it to TDC is there a marking on the timing belt that should line up somewhere?
