Check for fuel and spark.....if it doesnt have spark the ICM inside the distributor tends to go.....

What does it do? Does it turn over? or does it do nothing? or does it click? if it doesn't turn over at all, and is silent or makes a click then i would,
Check the starter(if the battery is fine of course lol), because i literally went to McDonald's went inside ordered food, then ate and went back outside my 93 Si wouldn't start! I checked and checked spark fuel all that fine, So i was thinking starter interrupt was stuck on from my aftermarket alarm. So i d/c the alarm like a idiot instead of checking the starter. Still didn't even turn over not even a CLICK(not the alarm), i then got smart and the starter with a small hammer and my lug wrench as my gf tried to start it lol and i could hear my car try to turn over like 3 times but still wouldn't start!

To make a long story short after that i knew it was the starter. Went to auto zone got a starter for like 70 bucks and got some back on the core return. Car has started perfect since! I always have thought it was so weird how it started so perfect and the starter dies in like 5 mins lol. I mean i had a starter die before in my Camry but i could tell it was dying for like a month before, By the way it was hesitating and could even hear it wasn't right lol. The prelude gave NO warning.

lol that's good! Cause that starter was kinda a ***** to get back on lol. So it must have been turning over but just wouldn't start then. Gotta watch the main relay in that car too! I mean i know there has been several times my car wouldn't start and i had take the damn relay and twist it and push it and wham it will start every time(in my car anyway) i know people have to completely replace them though too. Damn bad soldering from Honda just like the climate control! But that's good you got it started good luck! On getting it how u want it man.
