Default 1999 Integra LS no spark???

Alright, I am pretty savy with cars and a lady her at work said her car died in the parking lot. Went out to look:

Car cranks, checked for spark... there is none. So typically next step is pull distributor check for gumming on cap, coil, ignitor in my book. But the rotor didn't spin, timing belt is fine, when dizzy is offer taper spins the rotor, rotor spins the taper, it is in correctly as it doesn't spin freely.

Anyone have any ideas, quick things to check etc.

Thanks

Not that anyone is reading but if you are, I pulled the distributor cap, turned the key to line up the screw hole on the rotor cap and the rotor didn't move...

Bad distributor?

If you dont want to pull timing belt cover just pull dizzy off and crank motor and make sure cam is turning

Pulled the cover, timing belt looks new. So its hooked up. Read your post #2 and looked at the link. I am still not really understanding this. Will 4,8,9 light up on the dash. I know this is stupid that I do not know the answer, but googling isn't telling me much, because its probably too obvious.

The jumper is on the passenger side? I guess its going to be a little hole I jab a paper clip into, kinda like the old auto seatbeat reset hole.

No you wont lose timing, but there is no point now since you know timing belt is good cause you pulled cover.
Pull distibutor back off and spin taper gear and make sure rotor spins. If yes put srew back in and reinstall lining up taper to camshaft( only goes in one way) and try it again making sure rotor turns

Also why would the notches just go. This is an older lady and I doubt she has every done anything outside her service book. Should I pop the distributor just to check?

Im not saying notches WENT I was making sure you put it back on right.
Here is how to check engine code.
Phearable.net - Electronic Fuel Injection Tuning Solutions - Hondata, Neptune, Crome, Uberdata, Ectune, AEM, Honda Tuning, Widebands, Fuel Pumps, Intercoolers, Turbos, LS/VTEC, ECU Chipping, Chipped Ecus, P28

I agree with Integra but when you see the price of the dizzy you will want to be sure.
