Maybe a crank position sensor or something like that? Do those have an igniter under the cap? My 92 accord had no spark because that went bad.

First thought would be a bad igniter or coil in the distributor, second is did the timing belt break, if both are good I would say check the ECU but that rarely goes bad.

We checked the belt initially, it was fine.
One of the pickups were unhappy, on the road back to Wisconsin
