Default HELP! engine not getting spark

my motor is turning over and it's gettin fuel, but no spark. i already replaced a module inside the distributor and check the cap and rotor as well. i was told that if i replace the module in the distributor it should work again. i'm stumped. can any H-T'ers lend a hand?

could it be a bad main relay? i heard somewhere this could be a problem if the car is not getting spark.

i didn't check the coil. i'm not very knowledgeable when it comes to dizzy's, coils, igniters. if it's a bad coil how much do one of those run at your local auto parts store?

it shouldnt be too much. if you have a friend with the same distributor, you should try swapping with him and do a process of elimination.

i dunno i would just buy a new distributor or remanufactured one
i just did this on my accord

to check the coil on internal coil (only 4 wires come of the dizzy)

pull off the rotor then cap and u will see 3 phillips screw one with a - and one with a + get a voltmeter and but the ground on the - terminal on the battery and postive on the positive scre under the cap and rotor (this is the coil) it should be like 12V or something if not the coil bad

any more questions?
