I've been getting no spark since last Monday. I replaced the igniter, coil, rotor, cap, plugs, and plug wires. It still would not fire. Yesterday I bypassed the ignition switch, and ran a wire from the battery to a toggle switch to the + side of the ignition coil. The car finally started, and I got it home. But I'm still throwing code 15. What could possibly be causing this? The only thing I can think of is the wiring between the ECU and the distributor. Does anyone know? I'm desperate, please help me.
Sounds like a bad ignition switch (electrical portion). Try resetting ECU, then flip your toggle switch to power up coil, then start car and see if code re-sets. In that exact order.

I just tried that, and it worked. When I left my friends house, I went to ON first, then flipped the switch and I threw code 15. I'll just have to remember the order. Thanks.
Good, glad that helped you. Ignition switches from Honda are pretty reasonable in price and are real easy to install. I just bought one for my daughters 97 Accord and it was like 30 dollars my cost. Nice diagnostic work on your part made this an easy fix....3gdude
