Default Trouble starting car

I have a 95 Civic HB and just recently, I've been unable to start my car. I hadn't messed around with the car at all previous to this problem. It was functioning fine half an hour before and then all of a sudden this happens. When I turn the key, the battery is obviously charged, but I get no sounds of ignition, not even a little bit like its struggling. At first I thought it may have been my alarm which was causing the problem, but I disconnected my alarm from the battery and I still get nothing. Before I'm forced to get my car towed, are there any suggestions anyone might have?

Nope, besides my check engine light coming on and my radio receiving power, nothing happens at all.

How many miles on the car? If it is around 70k-100k...check your ignitor and coil.

your motor would still turn over just no spark to the plugs. It sounds like an electrical problem for sure.. All I can say is double check your alarm wires to make sure it's actually off.

It's a Clifford Cyber2. I disconnected the alarm from the battery and turned off the alarm backup battery. It shouldn't be influencing my car anymore should it?

hook it back up and see if it reset itself and alows you to start your car.
