Do you have lights? Your battery may be totally drained to the point of no return. Get a new battery and see if that helps. If not then the starter might be dead.

Rep Power: 400 when you say doesn't start we need more info.
you turn the key and nothing happens?
or does it turn over but not start?
etc.

hold the horn down and try to crank it if the horn stops as your trying to crank it the battery is dead... if your turning the key (with horn down or not) and lights come on inside and stereo works then its probly an alternator

Rep Power: 360 I had a 89 crx SI
I had this problem
If you have an old starter
It can develope a oxidized grove on the plates
And if the car stops on that groove the car will not start.
You'll have to push start the car if you have a stick.
I had to take it apart and sand conductor plates until the oxidation was gone.
I did this twice and then finally bought a new starter.
good luck

not enough info..... when you turn the key is there complete silence , a sound of something clicking (every few seconds), the sound a car normally makes when its starting, or does it make that noise only reallllllly reallllly slow
