Default Trouble starting a 99 civic

My grandmas Civic has recently has not wanted to start (again)
It cranks and crank but will not fire. this is about the third time it has done this. Everytime i've followed the same procedures (from what ive found on the internet) Plugs, Wires, Cap and Rotor..

I've tested for spark and each plug sparks. I've added fuel/starting fluid and don't get any indication it wants to start. In the past after messing with it for awahile it seemed to have just started.

that sounds rather strange. i've had a similar issue for the past few months but my civic doesn't use a distributor. i'm thinking it would be a fuel issue for your gmas car. id start with the fuel rail and work my way back. hope this helps
