Default Starter Cranks but Engine will not Start!?

92 Integra ls

The starter cranks but the engine only starts when cold or intermittantly when hot.
When the engine does start it runs just fine until it is shut off.

I have replaced the Distributor Cap, Rotor, Ignitor, Ignition Coil, & Main Relay.
Neither of these have cured the Problem....
I removed a Spark Plug and cranked the engine over and there is still no spark.
Any more suggestions based on experience would be appreciated!

I am contemplating replacing the Distributor housing assembly, and possibly the ignition switch if it controls power to the ignition system

Help.....

Hi
No I have not yet replaced the plug wires, since the car runs fine once it is started.
I am going now to check the resistance in the wires.
Could bad plug wire(s) ground the whole system out?

if the wires are in bad shape or dirty, there could be a back connection to the plugs, or at the distributor.

As I suspected it was the Control Module(computer).
