Default B16 Civic won't start need !!Help!!

The car was running fine for about 2 months and I did not drive it for 2 days and now the car will not start up. I've checked the starter, ground wires, timing and battery. The problem is the engine cranks but does not start. Fuel comes to the engine and there are sparks from the spark plugs, however, I don't understand why my car won't start up after not driving it for 2 days. Is there anything that I can double check to see what the problem is.

check to see if the battery terminals are cortroded or not. corroded cables will cause a no start or a weak battery
