Distributors can spark all day long, but, if it's not precisely controlled by the ECM, the engine won't start. Frequently, with aftermarket distributors for Hondas, the internal sensors (CKP, TDC, or CYL) are bad. If the distributor has a warranty, I would exchange it for another. I've seen this problem over and over again. I realize this is hard for many people to accept. Your own experience with aftermarket distributors for Hondas confirms what I'm saying. My best advice is to buy a genuine Honda distributor housing and install an aftermarket ICM and coil to keep the cost down.
