02 civic no start help

Hey guys, my car didn't start Wednesday after work. I had to call AAA, they towed it and gave me a jump and I was able to drive it into my garage. Borrowed a car to work and got home Thursday and started engine no problem just to test it out.

Go to autozone Saturday and they recharge the battery and let me know it's good. I also replaced negative battery terminal. When I tried to start the car the dash lights come on and car cranks but does not start.

My neighbor mechanic just took a look at it and says fuel pump, spark plugs and timing belt is okay.

He says more than likely electrical than mechanical, what do you guys think? What should I try next?

Thanks.

You checked the fuses, right? The box in the car and the one under the hood?
You said Autozone had to recharge your battery? If that's the case, your battery could be old or your alternator could be going. My car got harder to start before my battery took a dump. It was five years old though, which is normal.
Could also be your starter, I guess. I'm sure someone else will have some more ideas shortly!
