    I'm at a loss

    Well my car won't start, it will only crank. Found out I have no spark at this time. My friend was over and he came up with it being the ignitor, since he has had a problem with the before. So I replaced the ignitor, and the cap and rotor while i was at it. Still nothing. So I figured it must be the coil or the distributor itself. i replaced the coil tuesday, and still have no spark, I replaced the whole distributor today and it still won't start. . but i screwed up this morning because I mixed up the wires for my coil. I don't know if i blew something by doing that or what and thats the problem now. I really don't know what to try next, and what else I can even replace.
    If anyone has a suggestion I would really appreciate it.
    thanks alot

        I haven't figured it out yet i called up the shop foreman at the acura dealership i used to work at and he gave me something to go on, but no luck so good thing he is gonna come by tommorow and help me figure this thing out. I think it has something to do with how the (external)accel coil is wired up. it was wired really wierd on my old dizzy and so i'm about to try and run it damn near identical to that. <<for some reason they had cut the blue wire for the tach and connected it to the coil and then tapped into one of the other wires on the 2 pin connector from the distributor and then ran a extra wire to the tach(the aftermarket one i think) but it looked really shitty and unecessary but i think i'm gonna try doing that but instead of cutting the blue wire i'll tap into into it. Since its the accord wiring harness i think thats what is messing me up with finding the right wire to make this thing work
        Since the other day i tryed,
        changing the ecu,
        main relay
        gone back over the ground
        changed my coil again
        and looked at i dunno how many wiring diagrams

            I found out that the only wires in my dizzy that have power right now is the black/yellow stripe wire. My friend, the shop foreman has been helpin me alittle and he said in the manual he had the yellow/green stripe wire should have power coming to it as well but i have absolutley nothing from it. Does anyone know what gives the wire power or why it wouldn't be gettin power? any help would be appreciated.,and if that wire is suppose to run the negative terminal on my external coil? PLEASE HELP
