do what gunmen said, check for spark in the spark plugs. take the spark plug off, put it back in the wire, then touch the thread to something metal on the engine, cant be painted, needs to be bare metal. then start it, and if the spark plug sparks then u got spark and its soemthing else

The ignitor is part of the distributor assembly. They are notorious on hondas to go out, just as GM 4 cylidners are known for their ignition module failure. Its a simple process to change, take off the distributor, couple bolts and swap. If you're still confused, get a service manual it sholud have in depth instrution.
