Default no start/spark 1994 accord ex v-tec

Im having spark issues with the distributor, Ive got everything but spark. Ive swapped distributors, caps, rotor button, plug wires are new. The car ran for the initial breakin, it was down on power and had a miss I assumed was a vacuum leak thaThe leak has been fixed. I tried 3 different distributors and still no spark. I tried to pull trouble codes by jumping the wires under glove box and nothing, no blinking at all. Ive checked all the fuses in both fuse boxes and all checked out good. Any ideas on what to do next? Thanks

Check that you have 12V to body ground on the blk/yel wire that goes to the distributor two pin connector.

You may want to check the inputs for the ignitor as well. There is a 94 shop manual that you can download that will give you specifics. Open the common diy threads on top of the gen tech help forum.

Double check the main ground (G101). Should be on the drivers/left end of the tb.

Thanks for the help, you both were right. body ground was off, and I had to swap ignitor as well.
