My car has been sitting for about the last year(wrecked). I have been in the process of getting the car fixed when last week I had the car started. While messing with the alarm the car just shut off. Since then it will not start anymore. So far everything has checked out except come to find out it has no fire from the distributor. I had changed the icm already and checked the coil. The coils readings were 0, 0.3, and 2. I was told that the alarm starter disable is part of the problem. I don't see this from past experience with alarms. Need some help on suggestions of what to check or look for.

Where exactly is the ecm located on a 90 accord? Are the voltage readings ac or dc? Would the main relay cause the distibutor not to have spark?

Thanks for the help. I had actually taken the ecm aloose but it didn't look that much like the picture I had so I put it back together. Just after sending my previous message I went and changed the coil and the rotor button and I have success after racking my brain for close to three weeks.
