My1995 Honda Civic DX 1.5L SOHC Will Not Start.

My1995 Honda Civic DX 1.5L SOHC Will Not Start. I Initially Started My Car To Move It Out Of A Tow-zone In A Parking Lot. I Made It All Of 50 Feet Before My Power Drastically Reduced And My Engine Killed. The Battery Was Quite Old, So I Replaced It With A New One. I Wasn't Successful Jumping My Car With The Old Battery, Even After Allowing It To Charge For 10 Minutes. After The New Battery Was Installed- I Turn The Ignition Switch To 'ON' The Check Engine Light Illuminates And Shuts Off After About Two Seconds, I Hear The Fuel Pump Start Up. I Then Try To Start The Car And The Engine Turns Over, But I Don't Seem To Have Detonation. The Weather Is Very Cold, Was Sub-zero The Day I Couldn't Get My Car Started. I Let The Car Rest Over Night And With The Temperature In The 20's F, I Was Hoping It Would Start, But It Doesn't. Thanks In Advance.

I have come across a number of sites which have varying methods to troubleshoot similar issues, but would like some input from any kind folks that can spare a few minutes.

What would be the proper way to check for spark? Screwdriver in plug-wire near the heads?

Best way to check for fuel to cylinders?

May I have just flooded the engine?

Thanks in advance for any responses.

Yes. Installing a new coil will likely solve the problem. Coils and ICMs are problematic components and should be replaced every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
