91 accord exr won't start, no spark!!!!

Hi all , I need help with my 91 accord exr . I was driving and it died on me , so I put it into park and tried starting it again , it started drove about a block and it died again , this time I could not get it started . I had it towwed home. Since then I could not get it to start ,boosted battery etc. I checked for fuel at the rail, plenty of fuel . I don't have a spark though . So I replaced the ignitor on the distributer , no luck so I replaced the coil , still no luck ,replaced cap and rotor still nothing . tested for spark with a new ngk spark plug still nothing . Anyone have anymore Ideas as this is starting to piss me off. Oh by the way timing belt is fine ! Please any help would be appreciated , THANX guys

You never mentioned fuses!

Did you check them.

Nex thought would be: timing belt jumped a tooth.

Make sure the rotor is turning...some Honda distributors seize and break the bearing in the bottom of the distributor and the cam is not driving the rotor anymore....Worth a look...

Take off the distributor cap. Could be the ignition switch, main relay, distributor (TDC sensor, crank angle sensor, cylinder sensor), ECU. I recommend you start testing with a meter/test light to see what you are missing that is causing no spark.
