Default 2000 EX, cranks but no start

Hi all.

I have a 2000 ex coupe. Been in garage all winter hooked up to a battery tender. Went to start her today, she cranks but won't start. I hear the fuel pump working when i turn the ignition on. It was fine when i put her away back in November. Any ideas or suggestions ?

Thanks

We checked and its got spark, and also fuel after the filter.

I'd shoot some starter fluid into the throttle body. If it fires, you know the problem is in the fuel system. Just because you have fuel after the filter doesn't mean it's getting to the cylinders.

My car had the same issue, and it was a ground wire from the ECU. Some manufacturers mount a conductive ECU onto chassis, but Honda has plastic ECU cases. Make sure your grounds are connected because if the ECU says don't start, it doesn't matter what else you replace
