Default cranking but no fire

Hey Im new to the world of hondas I just bought a 1989 civic DX with the D15B2 When I bought the car it needed the distributor installed so I did that and put a new rotor button in it since it was missing. The car started up just fine and I drove it home. On the way home it started to sputter and almost stall out. I thought this might have been bad fuel so I put some good fuel in it and it started up and made it home. Now it won't start at all. I had the ignition coil checked it came back fine and i put a new ignitor in as well and still nothing. I read online to check the engine codes but when I turn the ignition to the II position the little LED doesn't do anything at all. no blinks or anything. The ECU fuse(15amp) under the hood appears to be ok. Now I am at a loss as to what to do. Any help would be greatly appreciated and I hope I gave enough information about symptoms and what not. Thanx!!
