hard wire the starter to the + terminal of the battery, if it turns, its not your starter (for 10 years, I've yet to see a Honda starter to go bad, other than GM starters on the Honda ACCORD V^)

tried to listen for the fuel pump to start, if you dno't hear it, it could be your main relay (very popluar part to go bad)part#39400-SH3-003.

if not, a good chance your dist. parts may went bad, i.e., an igniter and the coil.
at the point, you need to diagnois the car.

again, it could be simlpe........or your alarm took a crap and it won't let you start the car. very common, especially if its been half ass before.

g-luck

Yea, without reading the other posts, it seems as if you are not getting fuel to your engine, or are getting very little.
