Default 89 crx w/98 vtec head wont start

Hey, i have a friend who has an 89 crx w/a 98 vtec head(mini me).
The car has been running fine so far. But now there is problem w/starting.
I get no spark and the fuel pump does not prime.
I am thinking maybe the ecu or the cam angle sensor.
Plus, when i went through the whole car, i found that the ecu fuse under the hood was blown. Replaced it, and hasn't blown again yet.

I have eliminated the ignition switch as being a possible problem. I tested continutity thoughout that entire system. Everything checks out.

Any other suggestions of what might be wrong or has anyone encountered this before.

Oh, and by the way.....it is using an MSD SCI ignition.
When testing the ignition, coil sparks...but when turning over motor...coil does NOT spark.

Thanks

Thanks guys, it was the main relay.
the green stuff peeled up in one area and there was no continuity between two of the solder points were there should have been.

Thanks again
