I checked my Haynes Repair Manual and copied these items from the
section entitled: Engine Will Not Rotate When Attempting To Start:
1. Battery related problems.
2. Auto. Trans. not completely engaged in Park or clutch
not completely depressed.
3. Broken, loose or disconnected wires in the starting circuit.
4. Starter motor pinion jammed in flywheel ring gear.
5. Starter motor faulty.
6. Starter solenoid faulty.
7. Ignition switch faulty.
8. Starter pinion or flywheel teeth worn or broken.

Try the ol' turn on the headlights and see what happens when you turn
the key. The headlights going out would indicate numbers 4,5, maybe 7,
and/or 8. Head lights staying on would be numbers 2,3,6,and/or maybe 7.

Turn on your dome light. Now turn the key and watch the dome light. Does it
dim to nothing? If so, you've got a bad battery, bad battery cables or a
bad starter.

Have you actually checked the battery for voltage? At room temperature you
should get over 12.65V with a fully-charged battery.

Check out the battery cables and clean all the connections.

Make sure engine ground strap isn't broken or corroded.

I have a 93 Accord and mine recently cut off and wouldn't start. It was
trying but never could fire up. I found that the spark plugs were not
getting any spark because of a bad ignition coil or ignitor. I replaced
the part and is now working fine.

It might be worth looking into, if you haven't already.
