i own a repair shop,and even though there is gas and fire,check the fire part of it real good,it can get weak fire and wont run with it,this also has an igniter on it ,that helps boost the fire,that could have gone out,this may be one for a repair shop,to look at,it may not be possible for you to get it going,but id try and let it set for a while and try it again,it might have just flooded its self,or it could have a bad set of spark plugs in it,they will cause it not to start good also,i had one car in my shop,that all 4 spark plugs had went dead in it for no reason at all,we never did figure it out,after replacing them,it ran fine,and never did act up again,good luck maybe this will help.

That means there could be a ton of things wrong. First turn the key to the on position right before the car starts. Listen for a mechanical sound. That would be the fuel pump priming up. If that does not happen you need a fuel pump. Next try to pull some of the spark plugs and take a look at them. If they are covered in black goo, this is not good and is why your car is not starting. If they have a black powder on them and are lighter in color towards the top this is normal and not the problem. Next try turing the engine if it seems like it's spinning too fast then your timing belt is broken and the car won't start. Otherwise find somebody with a code reader and see if there are any trouble codes, if not your car is fried.

If there is gas and spark actually getting into the cylinders, not just to the injector rack or the carburetter, the only other thing it can be is timing. The spark is not there at the right time. (distributor or timing chain/belt problem.) OR the camshaft is not turning, or is out of time. (different than ignition timing. Suppose its possible that your compression is so bad that the mixture isn't compressed enough to fire. You could try a little starting fluid, that might get it going. DON'T overdo it!!

Check your fuses and see if any are burnt under the dash and also fuses under the hood check your fuel pump fuse also no gas means no start there is alot of stuff that can cause it not to start like timing belt but honda is a some what easy car to fix if you now some that knows about hondas.

Sounds like either a vaccuum line, or a ground wire, or a major sensor like an oxygen sensor.
The best thing to do is check your fuses and see if any are burnt out then start from there.

the battery might have enough power to turn the motor but maybe not enough to start it.

maybe your engine is flooded you definetly need to get the car towed to a mechanic to look at it and also, I would stop messing with it because you may make it worse.

there could be two reasons... too much fuel or not enough air.... check your air filter and have your TPS (throttle position sensor) and your mass air fkiw sensors checked.

WAY too little information to answer your question.

it might be the timing chain
