I've been reading about the various starting problems with the Honda Accord, associated with either the main relay or distributor.  I've got a kicker variation of the same problem:
I have a 1992 Honda Accord LX, automatic, which has been in the shop now for over a month with a starting problem.  It is turning over, but will not crank.  My mechanic has replaced everything, and I mean EVERYTHING, that causes spark, but the car still is not getting any spark.
We've put on it a new distributor, new computer, new main relay, new o2 sensor, new temp sensor, new starter, new alternator, new plugs and wires, etc.....like I said, EVERYTHING that might cause spark!
The motor is getting fuel, and anything else it needs, except spark.
Can anyone help with this problem???  I'm desperate!!!!!
Thanks!

Here's a cheap thing you can do to see if it's your battery. Take your power cables, connect your battery in another car, and try to start your car.

I can't believe it, you better be sleeping with this mechanic (married)  

I can't imagine the money you've spent by just throwing parts at it. Things need to be checked, grounds, power supplies, is the computer powering up (checked easily by looking for a lit check engine light on the dash)

There's a simple reason, it needs to be diagnosed properly. At first I figured the distributor was the problem, you said it's been replaced, that don't mean the used one or new for that matter was any good though. it's a very common problem, If it's used parts that are being installed try another distributor. Um, after you make sure the check engine light comes on, turn key on, don't turn it over, if the light doesn't come on the computer isn't being power up, BOOM your trail to follow.

Good Luck
