No codes? The ignition control module is probably at fault or possibly the coil. If you decide to replace the distributor make sure its identical to yours in every way down to the connectors and the brackets the connectors clip to, check to see if the one for your engine block code is the right one. I've been through hell helping friends with their Hondas, especially the ones with motor swaps

But for the record they almost all use the same ignition control module, I've checked the part number across many years and models on my trip though hell.

We got it! And surprisingly it wasnt one of those... the power wire had went bad. There was any power getting to the alternator so therefore it wasn't charging the battery. Thank you so much!
