I went and bought a new coil and installed it .With my test light I have power at 2 pin connector at distrubtor and I removed cap and I have power at both wires going to the coil So does that mean my main relay is working [dont know] but I still have no spark PLEASE HELP!

    Make sure your distributor housing is a genuine Honda product. All others are unreliable and junk, in my opinion. You can try installing a new igniter. If the problem persists, I would install your new igniter and coil in a new Honda distributor housing.
