I drove my Accord home one evening and it was running fine. Got up the next morning to go to work and it would turn over, but not start. Battery is fine. Have replaced distributor cap and rotor, but there is no fire coming from the distributor. What could be the problem?

You grounding that park plug when you check for spark?

Distributor also consists of coil/ignitor.

Ignitor is notrious for failing

Hummm, at tat mileage you want to check if the engine if really turning. You may have a broken timing belt. With the distributer cap off rotate the engine and insure the rotor is turning.

If so check you EFI relay as they are high failure. It is located high in the dash about the drivers left knee. It is the most probable cause of the problem. As it controls spark and fuel.

How do you check it? You don't, you replace it. Hope yopu have 40" arms with micro fingers.

Let me know

My car had the same problem. First check to see if it is turning over (see post above) at the distributor (possibly broken timing belt). If you have a HAYNES manual, use the troubleshooting for the ignitor which consists of running voltage checks. The ignitor runs about 110 new.
