    If it's a manual transmission and you can get it rolling and kick the clutch. If it starts then, you can narrow it down to possibly the starter. (you said it has a full battery, so it's not an alternator problem) If it doesn't start by kicking the clutch, it may be a fuel delivery problem?

    Sorry missed that part...

    I had the distributor go bad in a 92 EG hatch I had, maybe that's the problem. When I looked into it, I found that it's somewhat common in older Hondas.
