timing belt
if it keeps cracking over and it won't start it is more than likely the belt

the first thing to do, before you change any parts, is to check for spark and to see if you have fuel pressure.

spark test is easy. pull 1 plug, put it in the wire and hold it to a ground. see if it sparks.

for fuel, you can unscrew the regulator some to see if there is fuel there.

you also may want to check to see if you're flashing any codes, cause it could be an electrical problem. also, you may want to try wiggleing the wire on your injectors, this happened to me before and after all the trouble I went through it was just a loose injector wire.

to check for codes incase u didnt know: pull up the carpet on your passengers side floor well(in front of the seat) and you'll see the ecu there, turn the key(not all the way, just to run) and there should be a light that will flash once as soon as u turn the key. Keep looking at that light to see if it flashes anymore, if it does count the number of times it flashes and post the number on here.

stick your head under the dash by the hood release and make sure the main relay is clicking and working. ive never had one make the car die while driving but its a common honda prob.you should also hear a (thunk) like noise from the dash..
