Default car wont start

ok guys i need your help my bro has a 90 civic 4dr...well the car was working fine but one day it just quit. When you go to start it doesnt turn over.. it sounds like its just gonna turn over but it doenst..now on the positive terminal of the batter there is 2 fuses...and there is 2 wires that run into it a white with green stripe and i forget what color the other one is..well anyways were that plugs into that little fuse box it looks really shitty and corroded. and it donesnt look good...i followed them and they run right into the main harness...could this be my problem? or i was also thinking that it was maybe the altenator...suggestions? thank you

* we have also tried to jump it but it wont start
*Battery is good

two stupid ef tricks.
1. open gas cap to vent tank. vaperlock sucks.
2. disconnect fuel injector plugs, then re-plug in. they loose there ground.
if not, check for spark, fuel, ect...
