96 honda accord will not start battery works fine car will not turn over the past couple of days when i tried to start the car it would sputter.

Remove your alternator and starter and take them down to an auto parts store to be load tested. Use an amp meter to double check that your battery is reaching AT LEAST 12.5 volts. If it is getting anything less than 12v, such as 11.5 or 11 or 10.5 or anything under 12.5, then it too needs to be replaced.

If your alternator and/or alternator test to not be working, replace them. If they test to be working just fine, check your battery terminals for calcium build up, old terminals, bad cables or a bad ground. Check the alternator and starter wiring for the same wear.

My Honda Accord 96 has the same problem. I can see the starter turning but it sounds different than it was before. No smell of gas coming up even if I press the gas pedal many times. I also noticed that the spark plugs are soaked in oil but it is like this before it quit running. I can hear the gas pump humming when I turn on the key. My daughter was riding it on the freeway and suddenly it just died. It has new battery. Thanks for any feedback!

The battery is at fault unless the starter is broken and needs to be replaced (assuming full power in battery).
