Check your grounds to the motor. My buddies ls had the same problem one of his grounds wasn't tight. For some reason hondas are real bitchy when its comes to grounds. Talk nice to her.lol

could be a bad ignition switch, have you checked to see if you are getting starter signal at the starter when trying to crank

yea you can put your test light on the signal wire of the starter (the one with the boot) and have a friend crank or try to crank while you watch. the ignition switch is where you put your key to start your car, to check it you need to drop your dash and find the harness comming from the key switch open it up and find the black wire w/ white stripe, same, probe wire with test light while trying to crank. just a thought if manual trans could be the clutch switch on the pedal

try giving the starter a light couple of taps with a hammer and see if the solenoid seized, worth a try!
