Default 91 Accord Starting Problem

My 1991 Honda Accord EXR was runnign fine up until two days ago. The car just went off in the middle of the road and wouldn't turn back on. It was trying to turn over but there just wasn't any spark to complete it. My father then replaced the distributor cap, rotor, and the set of wires and it worked perfectly after that for 24 hours. Then just today it started doing the exact same thing again. It is not starting, but it is trying to turn over. I have replaced the battery but to no avail. If anyone has any help for me I would greatly appreciate it. Also I would like a website with free repair manuals so I can check out the problem myself, and try to fix it myself. Thanks.

Have you tried replacing the main relay? It's a common problem with those cars...

maybe the ignitor is being sporadic. Check the resistance on the coil and do a test on the ignitor as well.
