Default Accord Died - electrical prob. HELP

We went to start the car and it would spin over but no spark.

Unsure if I should replace the ignition module or the whole distributor. Car has 310K km and the resistance test on the 8 plug wire harness to the distributor shows 3 of 7 connectors having resistance. The book (chiltons) that I have says there should be no continuity. Power around the ignitor module seems okay.

There are three sensors built into the distributor and the "book" says if one is gone replace the distributor. According to my tests they are all gone... that doesn't seem likely... or is it?

What is the most likely problem. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Chad
