I replaced the crank sensor and distributor still nothing. the car with crank also put a diagnostic tester on it and is showing nothing has a new battery fuel pump is coming on everything is working properly besides not having a spark. what could it be?

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.
