Default Car doesn't start

92 Integra GS. Went to start it a few minutes ago and it just cranks and cranks but it doesn't fire up.

Any ideas?

Last time I drove the car was Saturday afternoon when I filled up with gas and it was fine. I filled up with super at one of those shitty sations because I was on the reserve. Could that be the problem?

Thanks guys

first check to see if there is a click noise if you turn the key on with out cranking the car, if no click replace your main relay it's right above your feet, if that doesn't do it check for spark with even a screwdriver jammed in the end of a plug wire, if you don't know what you are doing call a friend who does.

take oil cap off and see if cam is moving.. if not then your timing belt if f'd... then check if u have spark, like the other said stick a screw driver in the spark plug end of the wire and hold it about half an inch from the frame, then crank and see if there is any electricity jumping across.. then check your fuel, undo the top line from your fuel filter and just click your key in the start position, fuel should immediately come out. check all these frist to determine what your missing then go from there. in order to start a car u need air/fuel/spark... check which one your missing. also check your vacuum lines.
