This should help, too: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/faq.html#startrun
When you crank and the engine refuses to fire, does the tach needle jiggle
even the tiniest amount, or is it dead-still? Watch for that next time.

Wild-assed guess: engine flooded with fuel, which had a chance to
evaporate?
Hard to say, for me. Tried to do an exact "reinactment" last night.
But no luck. It wouldn't fail. Will try again. Was kinda sorta
under the impression that "flooded" applied to carbs, not FI. This
CRX if DPFI if that helps.
no, "flooded" happens to fi as well.
have you looked at the ecu to see if there are any codes stored? if
it's 16, there's a good chance the problem is the main relay. tegger
has the explanation [and cure] on his excellent website. otherwise,
investigate ell and tegger's suggestions here.
[great car btw - i have a 90 dx.]

nomina rutrum rutrum
I've had this happen to me if the engine kicked backwards a little
while it stalled. It seemed to be something that the ECU decided was
wrong. If I wait a while it will reset and start just fine, if I was
in a hurry I would just pull the ECU fuse under the hood for about 10
seconds and it starts immediately.
