92 accord - no spark from coil

[narv77]

Drove my Accord yesterday, parked it and returned several hours later only to have it crank and crank and not start...replaced igniter, cap and rotor and still no start---distributer turns, no spark from coil when I removed main lead to distributer and put wire near a ground--if an igniter goes, does it trash the coil? How reilable are the coils in these cars--do they fail? The igniter was an aftermarket manufactured by Niehoff--what to do???
