Not a lot to go on, but the major suspects for "no spark" are few. Read over
the whole "Starting/Running problems" section at
http://tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#startrun for a good run-down. I favor
the ignitor having failed (because it happened to my daughter's '93 Accord),
but I wouldn't rule out the coil.

You won't get spark if the timing belt broke. Easy to check by looking
into the oil filler hole and spin the engine.

My experience in this matter is all detroit steel, but every time this has
happened to me, it was a coil.
The ignitor seems to be sort of common for the Hondas, so I would inspect
both...

When you crank, does the tach needle jiggle a teeny tiny bit?
If NOT, the igniter is shot.
If YES, the coil is bad.
