Default Starting system help needed.....

I need some help in trying to figure out why my car won't start. The engine turns but it won't fire up. I have a B18A in a 89 CRX with a MSD 6A and SS coil. I have tried it with and without the MSD hooked up and I get the same results. I have tried 3 different ignitors (2 brand new and 1 that was originally in the dist.). All the wiring connections are good too. Is there anything else I should be looking at? Would the main relay be a suspect? I replaced it about 10 months ago, would it go out so soon? Sorry for all the ?'s, but I'm just stumped. Any help or hints is appreciated. Aloha.

Well I did have the car out in the sun for half a day. I will look into it. Thanks.

If your sure you are getting sparks to the motor and the timing is correct, than that leaves fuel. Make sure the fuel filter/injectors is not clogged up. Also check to see if the fuel pump is working (fuse).

I am getting fuel to the injectors and into the cylinders. I can also hear the fuel pump when I attempt to start it. It is an ignition problem, I just can't seem to find it. Thanks.
