pull one of the plug wires, have someone crank the car, put a long screwdriver in the plug-hold it just over the the engine bolt(ground) and c if u have spark... if u do, then try some startin fluid....

When it didn't start for you, what happened when you turned the key?
Nothing (as stated) or it turned over, but wouldn't start?

Kinda, funny. My girls Accord won't start either. Turns over but doesn't start. I'm thinking spark or fuel. I'm going to check spark plugs and fuses. Am I going about this the right way? What else should I check for?
