Pulled this out of a dark spot in my mind... check that the coil mount screws have not pushed through to the inside of the cap causing an internal short, pulling spark to ground. if distributor is new pickup coil should be ok but check for broken wires there just in case. Also if you have a tach, disconnect it from distributor. If internally shorted it won't get spark.

Check the resistance of the pick-up coil in the distributor. Reading should be between 800 to 1200 ohms. Disconnect the two wire connection at the distributor control module to measure the resistance.
Let me know.

Pu t in new coil and distrubtor cap and rotor put in new electronic module not firing wont start

No spark at the spark plug? It may be the pick-up coil inside the distributor. This is the sensor that tells the computer the engine's crank position.
If the ignition switch is good, you should have power at the coil's + terminal when key is on. You might check for that.

MY HONDA DIED ON THE ROAD AND IT TURNS OVER BUT NO SPARK TO THE ENGINE... MY MECH IS HAVING A HARD TIME LOCATING THE PROBLEM...

Needs to check and make sure timing belt is not broken, if that checks good, more then likely it's going to be the ignition control module, sit in the distributor, also have him ohm ignition coil. but more then likely if timing belt is good, ignition module.

I had the same problem with my 85 cj7 this week, I relpaced the ignition control module, plugs, wires, cap, rotor and the the coil; still had no fire to plugs. the problem turned out to be my distributor, replaced it today and she fired right up. Most likely it was the pick up module in the distributor that went bad.
