Default 1994 integra LS Sedan wont start after sitting for 1 month

I left my Integra at my uncles place next door for 1 month. I disconnected the battery. I went today to go move it out of his garage and it would not start.

1. Battery is not dead, dash lights are on, headlights are on. Tried boosting but there was still no go.
2. My dad checked to see if the spark plugs would spark but no go either on any of them.
3. Spark Plug 1,2,3 had oil on them.
4. Car cranks, theres also a squeeling sound.

Before i left the car in my uncles garage, car was working perfectly fine. no starting issues what so ever.

Uncle says its probably the Distributor, so im going to try to find a used one. Anyone else know what the problem could be or could shed some light as to what we could do to fix it? Thanks.

when you checked for spark, did you check with or without the plugs?

Take the cap off the distributor and look inside. The coil might be rusty.

distributors can be trouble sometimes so thats a good place to start, new plugs and wires are nice so getting some new ones wouldnt be a bad idea, even if it is the dizzy.

after you check the distributor check the ect sensor it might be bad and if it is it will tell your car that its super cold which makes the computer dump more gas in the cylinders causing the engine to flood. so you will never get it running. also check your fuel filter it might have got clogged from just sitting there and make sure your getting gas in the lines. make sure all the injectors are plugged in properly and that nothing is un pluged. also check to see if you hear the fuel pump whine when the key is in position 2. no whine means you might have a bad main relay (also goes bad all the time) or a bad pump... one of those could be causing the problem but get spark first ....

if the main relay is bad, you won't get spark either
