Basically, Im a muscle car guy, but due to gas prices i switched to imports and got stuck with a crappy del sol. I drove it around for a couple days and now it wont start.

-i tested to see if it had a spark and it didnt.
-so i changed the ignition coil and still no spart
-next, i checked the fuses and they all checked out fine.

I need help, i dont know what else to do, i dont know anything about hondas. So i need some help???????

That's more accurate. Hondas don't work any different than other modern cars.

So what are the symptoms? Does it turn over, but nothing else? Do you hear the fuel pump prime when you put the key in the "ON" position?
Need more info.

There is a whole lot of troubleshooting that can be done before you start replacing parts. Blindly replacing parts is an expensive pain in the ass, and you're lucky to actually solve the problem unless you have some really strong intuition as to what the problem is. For example, if you have a problem with power going to the ECU, you could replace every sensor and electrical part on the engine, and the ECU also, and still have a completely non-functional car. If you had poked around and found what was wrong, you would have saved a lot of time. I'm just saying that you shouldn't bother replacing stuff (like the coil) without knowing more about where the problem is.

Work smart, not hard.

yeah i figure it should be something easy, and yeah i know but ive never had a problem like this before and its my first honda so basically i dont know anything about it.

But yeah, it trys to turn over, i also checked the fuel, its getting great fuel and fuel pressure, everything else in the car seems to work fine (lights, electrical things, etc). The only reason why i replaced the ignition coil was because i was reading some forums and they had a similar problem and that seemed to fixed it for them but not me. Other than that, that's all I have done so far.

i saw that you said u were not getting spark. did you try changing out the cap and rotor? if not, it could be the distributor. try changing the little things first before going on to the big projects...make sure none of the connections are f*ed up by anything.

also ive heard people changing out there main relay and having that work...never had that problem but its just a thought

I would put my money on the dist.also if it was a main relay problem i dont think the fuel pump would be cutting on.
