Testing distributor varys by year and engine but a good test is to use a spark tester on each wire as you crank the engine. No spark may be the distributor bad or the coil if so you have one. Cheers

If a 93 Integra won't start is it because of an electrical problem?

I had the same problem. Check all of your spark plugs, if they smell like gas they are burned out. You should replace your spark plugs and check your distibutor, not the distributor cap. If that turns out to be the problem replace the distributor, distributor cap, and the rotor. If you turn the key to start the car, but nothing happpens, the starter's bad. If the car turns over but doesn't fire up, then the igniter/coil in the distributor might have gone bad.
