Well like i said. i drove my car all day today. went home started to wash it. had it looking pretty. and got into it to move it. No Start. I didnt wash the engine bay. so i checked fuel. got it. checked spark. dont got it. i checked under the dist. cap and there was not sign of water or condensation. so it kinda makes me wonder if the ignition control module would of went out. anyone have any suggestions.

Double check timing, timing belt (make sure it is still there), and main relay. Remember, the ECU gets power from the Main Relay and the Ignition Control Module is controlled by the ECU. BTW, how did you make sure you have approx. 38psi at the fuel rail?1997 Honda Accord EX-V6:

First and foremost, check & clean all your grounds, and make sure your thermostat ground is properly hooked up.
The first thing I do to diagnose a starting issue (especially if everything looks ok) is to spray Ether (Starting Fluid, Liquid Fire) into the intake for 2 seconds, and try and turn it over. If it starts then dies, its a fuel related issue. If it doesn't start, its an spark related issue.
Usually Igniters (ICM or Ignition Control Modules) will give you some warning sign before they go out. When they are about to die, you'll usually notice that your tachometer will look like its bouncing/spiking independant of actual engine rpm. Otherwise i'd guess its your Ignition Coil.
Having problems starting the car when its hot out is the telltale sign of the main relay going out. Cheap fix would be to take it out, and resolder each component (one at a time), or goto the junkyard and hope the one your getting is good.
Good Luck

ICM would def be my first guess espically if you had driven the car recently and just washed it. There not to expensive and easy to replace.Comment
