Default No Spark

So I have a 93 acord and it has spark at the coil and to the distributor but nothing coming out of the distributor going to the plugs. It would run fine then just die out of the blue no certain miledge or temp sometimes it would die once a week or month, but i would let it sit for a day then it would run again but this time it won't start at all. So i investigated the problem and i found that it has spark at the coil and to the distributor but nothing coming out of the distributor going to the plugs like i had said. Also I changed the cap and rotor. Any help would be great thanx.

Sounds like the ICM. Do you have a volt meter to test....or some places have a tester, if you take your old one they can hook it up and run the tests....call around and see if any of your local parts stores can do this.

So one of the wires to the ICM inside the distributor was broken and shorting out.
