Default Low spark

I have a 92 accord 5-speed. It will not start due to low spark. I was told it was the e.c.u. but i didnt think the ecu had anything to do with starting the car. The plugs are getting very minimal spark, somtimes none. The distributer, very low spark, and the coil is getting little to none also. Any ideas?

Providing your battery is providing adequate power (cranking amps) then the spark is going to origonate from the coil, It sounds to me like a bad battery, try jump starting the car from another running vehicle, if it starts then I'd say your battery sucks, if not then I'd start into testing the coil
