Are they saying that everything checks out, but there is no spark?

Did they check that the electric fuel pump works and verify that it is
delivering fuel to the engine?

It is reasonable that they would not order a computer just to check it out
unless you agree to pay for it whether it fixes the problem or not.
Otherwise if that doesn't fix it, they would be stuck with an expensive,
unique part and/or a disgruntled customer.

It seems obvious that they are not familiar with or properly equipped to
diagnose your Civic. A lot of places would bleed your wallet dry even
though they don't know how to fix it. You should thank them for not cleaning
out your bankbook and take it somewhere else.
