1999 Accord won't start ...

How was the spark tested?
The only thing missing is timing? If tests confirm fuel (sprayed tb/carb cleaner directly into the tb with butterfly open) and there is spark (good blue spark at the plugs) then I would suggest to pull the dist cap and turn the engine over to confirm the dist rotor is spinning.

A weak spark can sometimes happen. If you can borrow a timing light check for spark by hooking to a spark plug lead to powered timing light and turn the engine over. No flash means no spark at spark plug.
Weak spark is usually a weak coil.
good luck

My car finally did start and I drove around for about half hour brought it back home, turn it off. Waited half an hour and did the same thing and all was fine untill the next day. Went to fire it up again and it won't start AT ALL. The battery is brand new and I even put it on a charger to make sure it was 100% (which it was). I am so lost and really need my car to work

Something is intermittent...you said something about the green key light? However,
Suggest you do the same tests again......we know the car will run, so timing and air can be ruled out-they usually are not intermittent. The other two things needed for the engine to run is good spark at the plugs and fuel. How did you test the spark before?

You need to determine if the problem is due to lack of fuel or lack of spark when the car is not starting.
The timing light is the quickest and more reliable test for spark. Try to borrow one from a friend.
Let us know if you hear the fuel pump prime like TexasHonda suggested when the car is not starting.

Hi, sorry I have been away for a while. So to bring everything up to date it hasn't been starting again. I havent driven it since my last post as I've been away.
I DO hear the fuel pump kick in, but after I try starting it I do smell gas.
There is voltage at the ignition so that is not the problem
Also I am going to take the plugs out and change them, but I will first make sure the connecters are giving current to them.
Any tips on anything. Is there more things for me to check?
