My guess is that even cranking the engine using starter did not get it started. In that case I'd suspect tuneup parts - plugs and distributor cap and rotor. Often they're rated for 50k miles or more but you can see wear after 10-15k.

The distributor itself can get worn to the point where it needs a rebuild. You could ask Califprnia98Civic for diagnosis rips; he rebuilt his.
