So real quick, what were the results of your tests? Do you have a good bright spark? Do you have fuel? Are the plugs wet after trying to start? Was the compression normal? No starts are tricky because there's not much information to work with, so every bit helps.

How long did the car sit for? Not to beat a dead horse but a car not in reguar use should be run at least once every two weeks, not just start it for a couple of minutes but run it to operating temperatures, go through the gears, use the A/C, heater, power windows, etc. Minimum 20 minutes workout... Honda used to specify in their owner's manual that the warranty would be void if the car went unused for more than a couple of weeks, may be even a week. Many will park a car and forget it, go back a couple of years later and are surprised when the thing is dead may be forever...

So you have spark and you said that the plugs looked wet. Here's what I would try. Pull all the plugs and blow them dry with compressed air. Do the same for the cylinders through the plug holes. You can also let it sit for a bit and air dry. Then pop the plugs in and see if it kicks over. If not pull them out again. If they are wet then it's pretty sure to be a flooding issue.

I think that this car has a cold start injector under the intake manifold. I've heard that these things can stay open too long and cause hard starting. I've heard that the official fix is to wire them into the starter solenoid, but I think you should be able to get it to fire with the injector wires unplugged. Another option is to give the car moderate throttle when starting, but since it is a turbo OHC car, don't let the car rev once it takes off. I think that the cold start injector goes into the bottom of the intake manifold. It has a fuel line on a banjo fitting and a two contact electrical connector going to it.
