2010 honda civic no start

Cranking + No Start

our son, has a 2010 honda civic coupe, automatic, with about 50000 miles, it worked fine for ever and now, car cranks over but will not start. he states that the oil and battery light stays on while cranking, but will not fire. he says the battery sounds like not the issue, if cranks over easily. he lives 9 hours away, just looking for some ideas for him. ???

Possible cylinders flooded with fuel?.. Tell him to press the gas pedal all the way down and hold it there while starting the engine. Afterwards, if it doesn't start.. pull and inspect spark plugs to see if they are wet from or smell like gas.

Does it make a clicking noise during attempted starts?
Are the terminals and battery post clean and free of acid buildup?
He can either bring the battery in for testing at an auto parts store or use a multimeter to test: https://axleaddict.com/auto-repair/check-a-car-battery
