1998 Honda Accord mileage: 94,000. My car just quit running. I can turn it over, but it won't start. I have a new timing belt so it isn't that. We pulled a spark plug wire, put a screwdriver in it, and tried to start it. It isn't getting any spark. Help please. Thanks.

Your symptoms would indicate that the “new” timing belt may not be so new any more because a faulty timing belt would not drive the distributor. Thus, no spark. If the timing belt is okay, it could be that the distributor itself is faulty.
