Car won't start... ideas
I am having car issues.
My car won't start.
I replaced the battery, after testing it and seeing it was a "bad" battery.
Right now, I stick in the key, and I can hear the car make the cranking noise, but nothing after that.
ideas?

Has it been a while since you drove??
How much gas in the tank??
Is it garaged or outside??
Its cranking but not turning over right??
If so the starter would seem to be fine..
Look at distibutor/plugs/wires...

More than likely it's one of the above.

Could be your Starter. Just that's a Guess. Might not be sending any Spark to the plugs.

wish i knew more about the workings of "The Honda" Sam..
but if nothing's new but the weather, i'd probably look towards a moisture problem..

i had the same problem in the summer after washing my car at the coin wash a few times
couldn't figure it out on why it wouldn't start when i didn't spray the motor
but in the rain and snow its never had that problem
go figure

Update:
Found a possible source for the problem.
A wire from the battery to the ingnition kit managed to disconnect itself.
The plug/wire from the ignition kit to the distributor seems to have a crack.
My plugs are black... (running rich Fuel Map programs)
so gonna replace my plugs and wires...
Distributor is probably a factor.
Getting plenty of Fuel,
Battery is Good
Spark is being lost along the way...
