    Answer these 3 questions:

    1. When you turn the ignition to ON, does the Check Engine Light (CEL) come on for 2 seconds and then go off?
    2. Do you hear/feel the main relay "click," when the CEL goes out?
    3. Do you hear the fuel pump run, during the 2 second interval that the CEL is on?

    If you answered "Yes" to each question, then I would make sure the ignition system is in good shape; i.e. spark plugs, rotor, distributor cap, igniter, and coil. Pay particular attention to the igniter and coil, which are notorious for causing problems with Hondas. After you get it running, make sure to replace the fuel filter, if it hasn't been done in the last 60,000 miles. If you don't hear/feel the main relay "click," when the CEL goes out, then replace it.

    There is a cluster of ground wires located by the starter I believe they are for the ECU. I had the same problem from a bad ground.
