I replaced the distributor, spark plug wires, had the ignition coil tested by autozone and it's fine, but still not getting a spark coming out the coil. If anyone has had this problem please help.

If the Check Engine Light comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II), then the problem is distributor related. Keep in mind that over 50% of new aftermarket distributors for Hondas have not worked at AMHD. The remaining ones have usually been problematic and unreliable. I would install a new genuine Honda distributor housing, with a new aftermarket igniter and coil to keep the cost down. Bench testing igniters and coils is virtually a waste of time, since it does not come close to simulating the intense heat these components experience in real life.
Any chance it may be the ignition control module?
Yes, I would first try replacing the Ignition Control Module and coil.
Ok now I'm frustrated, changed relay and coil and still no luck
In addition to the previous suggestions:
. Check all under hood and under dash fuses with a test light or multimeter.
. Check ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.
Forgot to mention but all fuses are good, can this be a computer issue?
What happens to the CEL, when you turn the ignition switch to ON?
It gives me a code 0
Code 0--Bad ECM (If CEL is on and no code or CEL stays on)
Buy a remanufactured ECM, based on price and warranty.
It gives me a code 0
Definitely bad computer got it running!! Thank you all for your help.
Finally got it running, bad computer. Thank you all for your help.
