take the dist. cap off and make sure it is turning when the motor turns over if not the dist. drive is bad also I think not for sure it has a cam sensor also
have you put a new set of plug wires on it. use a spark plug tester, and put it between plug wire and dist, cap. if it is sparking you will see it. if yes and not to plugs put on new plug wires. good-day ! if above checks out. remove dist, cap and see if shaft of dist, is turning. some of the hondas have a plastic type drive gear on bottom of dist, shaft. that goes bad.
first off, just take distributor cap off and check the cap for corrosion and pitting. turn the dist. shaft by hand. if it turns a lot then the gear on bottom of dist, shaft is worn. you can either replace dist. or replace gear on shaft. check all wires and plugs. hard to say, but i would start at distributor to see if it is ok.
You have spark on the coil wire but not coming from the cap. You replaced the cap right. Did you replace the rotor too. Sometimes the rotor burn in the center and the spark goes right thru it in to the distributor shaft.
Replace the spark plugs and wires along with a distributor cap and rotor. Be careful to leave the old wires and plug wires connected to dist.cap, just remove dist. cap from the distributor and lay aside with plug wires on it then install rotor then new cap and proceed to replace each wire for cap and spark plug one at a time so you don't mix up the spark plug wire firing order. Cap laying to the side is used for reference purpose.
So you have voltage at the distributor and the rotor is turning. Check for voltage at the end of each plug wire. If you do not have voltage there you are loosing it in the wire or the cap. Is the cap new? Are cap and rotor new? Just be sure you have voltage at every point between the distributor and the plugs. Good luck!
