2000 civic SE no spark!

Help Please! Wife drives this.

Here's a brief history:
-No Warning lights appears with approx. 2,000,000 KM
-did not use car for 3 days, was missing when first start...was running ok after warm up.
-all seem fine under normal use for 3 days
-was not use for 1 day, than motor won't turn over

Actions and diagnostic:

_A back yard mechanic friend check for sparks with tester,confirm sparks but was back firing.
-check timing belt. looks ok.
-Check compression,no compression on cylinders 2 and 3.
-Remove head, gasket was fine.
=pour gas on top of head and it was leaking through the values, shows signs of carbon build up and thought value not seated
-Sent head out to be rebuild,cost 600 dollars with new gasket kit.
-Reassemble motor and changed timing belt without having to touch the cps because of mileage
-Now getting no sparks
-check and replace distributor cap

Still no spark, Possible causes are distributor,coil, wires and cps.

What to do next????Any help, comments is greatly appreciated!

Whip out the volt meter and see where the power stops flowing. The ignition coil is a module inside the distributor thing, attached to the passenger side of the engine. Check to see if the positive lead to that ignition coil is at 12v or something else

My bet would be CPS, test it first.

If that's the the source check the ignition coil, ignition switch.
