1993 Accord, no spark...
We just picked up a free 93 accord, based on the PO saying it needed a fuel pump. Well, after spending a couple days here reading, and testing, the fuel pump seems to be doing it's job, but the real problem is there is no spark.
No spark at coil output. Looked down into valve cover and there is movement when cranking so the belt is still attached.
I put a test light into each of the 3 wires that plug into the coil, and all 3 stay on constant while cranking.
Where is the ignitor located? Also, any other suggestions? I thin kI'm on the right track, but you all would know better than me.
Also, I get a code 15 from CEL, further pointing to ignitor it seems at this point.

Thanks for the answers and the diagram.. I feel like a fool though..
As mentioned, the car was free, was on it's way to the crusher over the supposed fuel pump issue. My stepson was the wrecker driver so we lucked out there. He had cranked the car dead trying to start it before loading it up, so I charged the car a few hours last night, and it was cranking at what I thought was a fine speed and lights etc. all looked good. However, after sitting on the charger overnight, charger showed 100% charge. I popped out there this afternoon since the internet took a crap, and the damn car started right up....
Drove it around the block a few times, shut off and restarted several times, etc...
Are these that suceptable to weak batteries? I still have to fix the fan switch, but the car is running great at this point...
on edit:
I also pulled the ECU reset fuse today, and no code has come back yet, although I only put about half a mile on it so far..
