Alright, first it didnt have spark, so i changed the coil and the igniter in the distrib. then, it started up and the alternator pully was stuck, so i changed the alternator. now, it wont start again. all the connections look good and it has fuel. it turns over, but won't start up. Any ideas???? checking spark is hard bc i live alone, so ill have to have a buddy come over and help with it....

It stinks trying to work alone - I have to a lot. A trick for checking for spark by your self is a tool I use a lot for this and just jump the solonoid for the starter. Mine is by "Bonney" tools #eo6, and at a spark plug in goes in line and lights up. Find which wire the the soloniod lights (12v test light) when just the starter is on. There are other tools with momentary buttons that will make starter turn or careful use of alligator clip jumer wire Put clip on solonoid and just touch it to battery with key in run and look at the light. You may need help one more time to find the right wire at soloniod.
You may have a broken timing belt!. When engine is turning look at rotor with distributor cap off, as you know it must turn and won't with a broken belt. I'm not a Honda pro but this is basic mechanics which I do.
Good luck with the fix,
