i bet it has spark and its just old gas if it was working when it was put away. if not it could be distibutor or ecu, but p61 ecu's are impossible to find.

no spark=check your ign coil.

i had the exact same problem and this was the culprit. it fired right up once i changed it out.

+1 for the ignition module (igniter)....pop it out and take it to your local autozone for a free test

check all your ground wires.....
I had the same problem with my civic, replaced everything and it would not start..

then I looked around and found 1 loose ground wire and 1 a little rusty, fired up when I addressed both, and replaced working parts with new working parts...

I was not very happy because by then I was $300 down the hole for 2 f'ing wires
