Here are a few questions that need to be answered. Also I had added some videos that you need to review in order to move in the right direction.
1)Are there any Service Bulletins out for your vehicle ?
2)How do you know that it is getting fuel ?
3) How long has this problem been going on for ?
4) How much milage is on the vehicle ?
5) What is the condition of the spark plugs ?
6) What is the condition of all of your wiring ? Is there any corrosion on the terminals ?
7) How powerful is your battery ? CCA, VOLTAGE ETC

Check if you can see the engine filter is clean.

1. Not sure of any bulletins
2. Spark plugs are wet with fuel
3. Problem just happen this morning. Car drove last night
4. Mileage is 215K. Timing belt et al replaced 20 K miles ago
5. Spark plugs have less than 20K miles on them. Using OEM, rotor and distrib cap replaced with new plug.
6. Wiring appears good for year of vehicle.
7. Battery new. Car turns over normally, but no start.I have already reviewed some of the vids u identified. Having a little trouble getting my head wrapped around Eric’s vid on Honda ignition on testing the testing of igniter (Ignition Control Module in my Haynes manual)
I would test the igniter.Take your test light.
hook one end to to positive on the coil. touch
the probe end to negative while cranking the
engine.The test light should pulse on and off.
If it does igniter is good.OK, got it fixed. However, I think I had a twist on the situation that Eric described in his video. We ran the test as discribed. We had blinking light when testing the ICU or igniter and we had spark at the coil but didnt have spark at the plugs (we checked serveral of them). But, my buddy said he thought the color of the spark at the coil was the wrong color; it was yellow and should be more blue. So based on that we replaced the coil and it worked. So in the end I feel I had a weak coil. Now with that said, there are some variables there that could have created the weak spark….ie poor connections etc. Regardless the car runs now and I am happy! Thanks everyone for guiding me to the fix and most of all thank you Eric for what you do! I personally have learned so much from your videos and this forum.
