I was driving the car and it turned off all of a sudden. It will not start up again. The engine turns fine. The following parts are good:
-Timing belt still intact
-Battery with a good charge
-engine turns over
-Ignition coil in distributer is good. Primary coil has less than 1 ohm resistance. Secondary coil has 12K ohms resistance.
-Replaced ignition control module
I know there's no spark because I take a spark plug wire out and I see no spark when trying to start it.
I'm baffled as to what else it could be. The car has 286,000 miles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Checked the fuses under dash and under hood. They are all good. When key switched in the on position the "check engine" light turns off after two seconds indicating it's not a sensor because there are currently no stored fault codes.

Crank position sensor.
It tells the ignition sensor when to fire the plugs. If there is no crank signal it will not fire.
Hope this helps

I am pretty sure it has something with the distributor!! Check the rotor inside the distributor if it spun out of place this will create no spark and wack the timing off!! If this does not do the job change the whole distributor, grab one from your local scrapyard it is much cheaper than buying new. Distributors are the one thing that are known to go on Honda civics with that kind of mileage!! Good luck!!!

in case you pulled a plug mutually as the automobile as working, that became the incorrect answer. You do it with the automobile became off. i might start up via disconnecting the the two neg and pos component of the battery and or ing the main efficient fuse in the fuse field for a jiffy. Pulling a cord on any motor vehicle will reason the automobile to end sparking and effect in an in depth down. at times it fries the ecu. mutually as the battery is disconnected examine each and every of the fuses besides. connect each and every little thing lower back up and attempt to start up it.

1-distributor cap terminal to coil 2-ck black wire w/ yellow stripe at distributor(if no fire here,probably ignition switch is bad)3-pull up carpet under rt side of dash & turn switch on. look 4 a blinking red light.if it blinks 4,8 or 9 times between pauses,1 of the sensors is bad(time 4 new distributor)

You said the coil had 12k ohms i had this same problem and my ignition coil (in the distributor) said 11k ohms so i went ahead and replaced it because the normal is 13k-19k so i replaced it and it fixed it! After replacing everything you replaced as well.

I had the same problem. I ended up changing the whole distributor w/ coil, plug wires, and plugs because I couldn't figure out the problem. It was time to do it anyway. Now the car runs great and the gas mileage is amazing.

Does it have a computer spark box? If that blows, nothing works. I had a mitsubishi that burned out its computer, sucker shut off and refused to start right then and there. Plugged in a replacement and it fired up immediately.

I know its a simple answer, but you start from simple too complicated. Did you check all fuses?

I think it's the ignitor.
