check the resistance between the coil tower and the positive coil terminal. if you get no resistance then the coil is dead. if you do get reisistance then the ignitor is probably bad. those are the 2 common problems with accords.

the reason i say that theres no spark is because i pulled out one the plug wires out and put a screw driver to it. i tried to crank it over and no kind of spark so im guessing its the distubutor.

just one wire or all of them? if it's all of them, then replace the dist. if it's just one wire, then replace the wires.
