============================
What vehicle, what temperature (outside), what mileage, what did you do
to it last? BIG QUESTION: Did this happen first thing in the morning?
Has it done it before? Have you tried holding the pedal to the floor
(per the owner's manual)?
Tomorrow is Psychic Wednesday and we can give another shot if you dont
have more info to volunteer.

Most likely an ignition system problem. To narrow it down,
see all the discussion at
http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#startrun .
How many miles on the car? When was the last tuneup (new
plugs, wires, distributor cap and rotor, timing check, air
filter, fuel filter, maybe a bottle of Chevron Techron in
the fuel tank) done? Were parts OEM?
Also, is the timing belt up to date?

Your request is nearly incomprehensible.
Please restate the problem, giving PRECISE details about when it
"want to start".
When you turn the key to START,
Does it make no sound at all?
Does it click but nothing else?
Does it go chugga-chugga but give no sign of a cough or sputter?
Does it go chugga-chugga and cough and sputter, seeming like it wants
to fire up but never does?
Does it start then stall?
Help us help you.
