Help with changing ignitor

My 1988 Honda Civic would not start but lights worked. I replaced the main relay and that was not it and now I checked and I am getting no spark. Is this the ignitor? Is this a difficult task for someone like myself with not much car knowledge? Please any help here would be appreciated.

did you do anything to your car at all ? change anything ?

ignitors are really easy to replace, takes about 5-10min. Take off your cap the ignitor i think has 4-5 wires going to it, its under the coil, disconnect the wires marking where they go. There is one bolt holding the ignitor in. They can be kinda pricey but it depends, one for my z6 cost $100

theres other things that could be wrong with his car, its not neccesarily his ignitor

I did not do anything and actually drove it back from where I purchased and it sat for a couple days and the first time I get in to drive it somewhere it does not start.

So within the day I have changed the main relay and with some help from a neighbor I learned it does not have a spark. He told me it was most likely the ignitor. What do you think ?
