No Spark!

Hi, I've got a '96 Civic EX that just up and died. Tracked it down to no spark. We've replaced the cap, rotor, plugs, wires, ignition control module and computer! Ohmed out the coil and it meets the specs. Checked all the fuses etc, I'm kinda a loss here. Any ideas???

Is there no spark before or after the distributor?

Not exactly sure what you mean by before or after distributor. Do you mean from the coil (i.e. prior to rotor). Then no, no spark from coil and subsequently no spark to each cylinder. Prior to the coil, we do have 12VDC at the primary connections. We have done all the tests the Chiltons/Haynes says to do that test the ICM (which, basically if it passes all the voltage checks etc, the wiring/fusing is ok then it "must be" the ICM...so it's more of an elimination of other options rather than an ICM test per se). It sure seems like the coil isn't getting triggered to break down. Is there a pick up coil or reluctor setup that goes out? Should I just try replacing the whole distributor (to the junkyard tune of $150!)??? Ideas anyone???
