How does it not start? Does it just turn over, are you getting fuel and spark? What does it do?

Car needs 3 things to start: Fuel, Spark, and Air. You kind of have to expand the post with more info but...could be a bad dizzy, fouled plugs, a clogged air filter, fuel pump not priming, clogged fuel filter, or clogged injectors or malfunctioning wires.

Has the plastic bumper stop fell out of your clutch switch at the clutch pedal. Some 95 had the soft stop pads and some have the hard plastic pads. The replacement ones that Honda now sells are the harder plastic ones and you should make sure this is not your problem. I always keep a jumper wire in my car in case the switch pad or switch fails.......

Sounds like a starter but... I need more info.

Is the starter making a popping sound or anything?
