Default help!!!!

i have a 90 accord dx, i turned off my car, went to the atm, turned on my car, and as i was leaving the parking lot my car just shut off in the middle of the street, so i have it towed home, check it out, its not getting any spark, so i look in my chiltons or what ever its called, and follow the steps to check to see if its the coil, or ignitor, both tests come up good, i change the cap and rotor just because its about that time, and new spark plugs, test it out and i still get no spark, anyone that can help me on this???? maybe ecu problem or what i really have no idea, so if anyone can help please do. thanks

Is your motor or tranny grounded?

Also, just making sure you are checking spark right....how are you checking for spark?

ya they are grounded, checking spark by taking out one of the spark plugs and putting it in the cable and putting it up against the block and seeing if any spark is going on

stick it on the front radiator support to see if you get spark.

Take off your Distributer cap and check the ignitor and coil .
Hondas are well known for frying the ignitor .
