Honda Civic Spark Problem

Replaced spark plugs, spark plug wires, rotor button, distributor cap, and the ignition module. The coil tested good. But I am NOT getting a spark? The engine cranks, but will not start. Any idea what the problem might be?

Car has 235,000 miles not 235. Sorry for that.

Check for a broken timing belt. With distributor cap removed, crank engine and note if the rotor is turning.
If rotor turns, check the Black/Yellow wore for battery with ignition switch turned on and while cranking.
