So as I was waiting for a light to turn green, I stalled out my car and when I tried starting it, the engine would not turn over at all. All lights including interior lights, audio, headlights, taillights all work, but why won't the engine turn over?! SOMEBODY HELP

Multiple possibilities, ignition switch, nuetral safety switch, battery, starter solenoid, wiring, start with battery, just becaise lights come on does not mean there is enough power for the starter, then check starter

Is it cranking at all? I'd do a compression test if it cranks.
Is the fuel pump priming? If not check the main relay, they go bad in civic's around that year ALL THE F'ING TIME!

By wouldn't turn over, do you mean the starter motor does not crank the engine?

When you turn the key to ON(II), do you hear the fuel pump prime for 2 seconds? And does the CEL remain on steady or turn off after 2 seconds.

Yeah. there's no crank, but I hear the fuel pump prime for 2 seconds.
