No spark

I could be wrong but something similiar happened to me on my 95 civic car just died out on me and tryed cranking it but it wudnt turn over, checked for spark and nothing bought a brand new dizzy and still 0 spark. i found out my timing belt had snapped. just something to look into, luckily when my car died i was moving off a stop light so it didnt wind up damaging the motor.

Check the main engine to chassis ground straps. If they are good, then make sure the dizzy is installed and plugged in correctly. After that, I'd check the coil.

it doesnt matter if they look secured or not, sometimes under the connection rust and or other corrosion occurs, take off the ground and sand the grounding spot with sandpaper, check battery to body, engine block to body, alternator to body, the battery one is litterally just ahead of the battery .... u will see a small wire from the neg terminal to the body.. take off that one, sand down slightly and re-install, the engine block one should be at the very front of ur bay by the rad... like on the rad support top of the driver side light, you will see a wire alone from the block to the body... repeat the prev. step..
alternator to body should be lower down... if u have stock air intake box u might have to remove it to see what im talking about... hopefully you know what a alternator looks like lol... again, check wire from it to BODY.

its quite easy to see if ur timing belt snapped, just remove valve cover, and then the timing belt cover, two screws horizontally, one is kinda hidden by the shock tower.. other one is really close to the engine mount

If the rotor spins, your timing belt is fine. And yeah, I forgot the coil is in the dizzy...lol.

Have you checked any fuses/main relay?

Can you hear the fuel pump click on and prime whe you just turn the key on?

Make sure the connection where the dizzy plugs in to the harness is good and clean...

I wonder if your crank position sensor is toast...

How are you checking for spark?

Make sure the plug is touching the head. Though you should see it jump to the head if your close enough... Don't get shocked from it.. doesn't feel very good...haha.

Don't know man... check the crank sensor?
