1997 Honda Accord SE not getting spark Have replaced distrib., rotor, cap and rotor, wires, ignition swith checked ignition fuse located in fuse box on pasenger side under the hood. Starter turns engine over but there is no spark. If I try long enough sometimes the car will start and then after warming it up will start fine until I let it sit for several hours and then it won't start. When it's cold it doesn't seem to be getting spark.

Ignition coil or Igniter (ignition module), likely one is failed. First check for battery voltage on the B+ primary wire on the coil. If voltage there, may be the coil (also check distrib. cap and rotor for wear or cracks). If no voltage to the coil, might be the igniter.
MAKE SURE SPARK PLUGS AND WIRES IN GOOD CONDITION, REPLACE DISTRIBUTOR CAP AND ROTOR,CHECK FOR SPARK AT SPARK PLUGS,IF YOU DONT SEE SPARK CHECK TO SEE IF POWER GOING TO COIL IF NOT CHECK IGNITION FUSE.IF FUSE OKAY AND POWER GOING TO IGNITION COIL,COIL FAULTY OR IGNITER UNIT FAULTY. CHECK FOR FUEL PRESSURE MAKE SURE FUEL FILTER BEEN CHANGED.FUEL PRESSURE SHOULD BE 40 PSI. IF YOU GETTING SPARK AND FUEL. YOUR IGNITION TIMING OFF OR VALVE TIMING OFF DUE TO A WORN TIMING BELT.
Check you ignition coil. Pull off the single wire and hold a screwdriver tip about 1/4" away from the place it plugs into. Have someone crank the engine and look for spark from the coil to the screwdriver. Do not hold on to the metal part of the screwdriver. It may shock you if it is working..
A spark plug "ignites" the fuel air mixture inside the engine. Follow the thick wires from your distributor cap to your engine to find your spark plugs.
