97 dx cranks but wont start
Walked out to my car this morning to go to work put the key in turned and got the crank but it wont start at all. Im new to the honda scene and I dont really know whats going on right now, I have to take a trip up to North Jersey this week and I want to have the problem fixed by then any help guys would be great.

When you turn the key to ON(II), do you hear the fuel pump priming for 2 seconds and does the CEL turn on and then off after 2 seconds? If so, check for spark at the plugs. Click the spark link in my signature.

After it wouldnt start went to work for the day came home and tried it again, it did the same thing, finally I had the it cranking for like 10 secs and it barely turned over after it finally got started I immediatly shut it down and waited 5 secs and cranked it again and it started right away. Thinking it may be the plugs or maybe even distributer probs or fuel pump? thanks for replies guys, im gunna get it checked out tomarrow morning and ill let you know what happens

Went to the shop he says it most likely plugs especially since iv never changed them before and it is starting to get cold out so ill get those changed and see what happens.
