Default 92 dx, doesn't start

I have a '92 accord dx; 2.2L, manual, 165,000 miles. I've noticed that the car has sometimes not wanted to start easily. Like, it will turn over and turn over, and eventually start. Sometimes it starts right up. However, until the other day, it's always started. Now, no matter what I try, I can't get it to start.

When I turn the key not quite all the way, all the lights turn on like normal, and I can hear the fuel pump turn on. (I resoldered the main fuel relay a few months ago, and I can smell gas if I pump it when I'm trying to start it, so I don't think that's the issue). When I turn the key to start, it just turns over and turns over without starting. After a few seconds, the engine light sometimes turns on.

If I pull a spark plug, I don't see any spark when somebody is turning it over. I replaced the plugs, wires, cap and rotor less than a year ago, and I replaced the ignitor coil last night. Still no luck. I believe the battery is fine, as it turns over with no problem and the lights seem to be at full strength. I wiggled the battery terminal connections and still no luck.

Any of you guys have any ideas for me?
Thank you.

A friend of mine had to have the main relay replaced with a similar problem, but his at least started most of the time.
