1991 Honda Civic won't start
Was highway driving the car yesturday and it was shaking a little. At low speeds it was shaking alot. Thankfully got it home but when I went to restart it 10 minutes later it wouldn't start. It is cranking but won't catch.
I can hear the fuel pump do it's job so I checked for spark and got nothing. looked in the distributer and found the small part that sticks from the d. cap into the ignition coil was all gone so I put a new cap on, no change )I recently replace the ignition in the distributer too). Then I put new wires and no change. (well, used parts but different ones). My Dad checked the compression a few weeks ago and they were around 48, 50, 48, 52 or something like that. They were all close in number anyway. I changed out the main relay, but still not starting.
Don't know what else to check.
Any ideas?

Could be the dizzy module or coil inside the dizzy. I had the same problem while rallying mine thru the bush a few weeks back. My whole dizzy has been played with though as the previuos owner hooked up an MSD ignition setup w/ external coil to it and it was the external coil that **** itself.
