Default 94 accord won't start?!?!

My 94 accord cut off on me as I was going down the road at about 30-35 miles an hour and now it will not get spark....I tried a new coil nad a new distributor but still no spark...what else could be the cause of this?

make sure that the t-belt is ok,
remove the oil filler cover, have someone crank the engine and see if the rocker arms move up and down .. also,, did new distr come with a new ignitor ??
And on a final word of advice ,, NEVER replace parts till you properly diagnose the problem ..

You can start by checking whether there's power at the distributor. Maybe a yellow/black wire? (DH will know, I don't have a '94.) It should have battery voltage when the key is at "ON" or "START".

Thanks for the update.

That's first case I've heard of Main Fuel Relay (MFR) failing while driving. Note, MFR would not cause loss of spark, so maybe two problems at same time or intermittent problem (keyswitch perhaps) that may return.

good luck
