Hello, did you check all the fuses after replacing the ignition coil and distributor? I'll post the diagrams. Looks like Fuse 11 15amp feeds the ignition coil.
These main PGM FI relays are a high failure point on Hondas as well. It was one of the main components that failed the most in the early 2000s. They feed power to everything when the ignition switch is turned on.
The Main relays are down on the driver side lower dash, pretty easy to find.
