Default honda 2002 wont start

My car had cylinder misfire. I changed the spark plugs and was working fine for couple of days. No jerks when driving or in idle. I also changed the filter and added some fuel cleaner. It was working fine until yesterday. This morning however my car wont start. Headlight is working so battery seems to be fine.

Does the starter crank the engine?

(wondering if it's a starter problem vs. a problem with fuel or spark)

Your answer isn't clear. When you hold the key in the start position, does the starter keep spinning the engine?

That is problem with the starter system. It could be the signal, the wiring, the starter, or the battery. It is either the battery or the starter, IMO.

I would disconnect the battery and clean both connections to the starter. You can try jump starting the car. You may want to pull the battery and have it tested.

You guys both beat me to it. The video really sounds like a dead battery.
