I have a '96 Accord EX automatic that started fine this early morning just to move it a few feet, but later today in the afternoon it wouldn't start. It hasn't shown any sort of problem like this before ever since the battery was replaced awhile back. The starter cranks the engine, but it doesn't even sound like it is firing or even struggling to turn like it normally does the first split second while it is being started. The belts are both turning while it cranks.
I'm going to check for spark and fuel pressure first chance I get, then get back with the status on those essentials. Any other ideas?

 

Sounds like you are on the right track to find the problem so far; We are here to help if you need any more info.

 

Thanks, took it to the shop where they checked it out and for them it seemed to have low fuel pressure at first but then it suddenly started working fine before they even did anything to it really. They said it might be the fuel pump and filter but i didn't take their recommendation to change the pump since it was working at the time, drove the car back home and replaced the fuel filter myself. Been working ok since then (except the 'check engine' light turned on just today, but that's another issue...).
