Default 2000 Honda Accord VTECH not starting

Hello, I am new here, and I've been a lurker for some time. Great site. I have a question. My wife's 2000 Accord (4cyl) is not starting for some reason. Battery and alternator seem to be ok, so what else could it be?

It isn't even turning over. I checked the lights and battery, alternator, starter hasn't shown any signs of going out recently, and made sure the car was in park.

Any other suggestions before having it towed. 219,000 miles on this baby!

Thanks.

The battery and alternator seem ok or you know they are ok? If it's one of the two, I'd bet on the battery.

If it's not turning over with a good battery, then your starter is either not getting power/signal or it is doneski.

Check it, and anything in between, out.

NOTE: It's VTEC, not VTECH. That's an electronics company.
