Default civic problem

i have a 92 civic ex and if i take the battery out of the car for two days and come back it will start for about 3min and die. and will not start back up. while it is not starting it will not get a spark. i replaced the distributor and it does the same thing.

If you are not getting spark, then it can only be a couple things: coil, Ignition Control Module, Ignition switch, battery, fuses. Get a Hanes and test each one.
