Default Car starting problems

One day after my brother drove to kent from tacoma he called me in the morning and told me that it wasn't starting.
After towing it back i tried to start it and the car sounded like it almost started, but just needs a little extra something. I thought it was a distributer, but my friend came by and checked there was spark. he said it cant be the starter or the distributer and he concluded that it might be compression.
i just need help do start my car can any offer any suggestions?

Default Re: Car starting problems

does it seem sound like it is spinning faster then it usually does. If so it is your timing belt. Pull the distributor cap off and turn the car over see if the rotor button turns. If not it is the timing belt. sometimes you can get spark and thee car still not start. I'm assuming this is a honda you are talking about? What kind of car and I can help you
