1990 honda accord lx 2.2 Sign In

I have a 1990 Honda Accord LX 2.2L it has been sitting for a couple of years..The people I got it from thought the fuel pump was out because it wouldn't start. When I finally had time to check on it, I found that rats had ate the wires to the fuel pump. I fixed those and I have fuel pumping now. However it wont start. I found that i do have fire to the distributor but i am getting no spark to the plugs. I have now replaced the ECU, the Main Relay, Battery, New Distributor and all new parts inside it, plus new cap and rotor. I know the ignitor is working cause it shocked the crap out of me and couldnt feel my hand for a while. The internal coil has been replaced and I am still not getting any fire to the plugs..I can't figure it out..The only other thing I have had to replace at this point is one fuse and it was to the ECU. Everything else looks fine I can't find loose wires or bad grounds. What am I missing. I have fuel, I have fire to the distributor. Why wont it come out and get a spark to the plugs????? Help me please this is getting expensive..

How about the spark plug wires? Did you ohm check them to see if they are good? Max resistance the wires can have is 25K ohms.

When you crank the engine is the rotor spinning in the distributor?
