Car would not start, it turned over but would not start. I replaced the battery & spark plugs...car was working fine for 2 days, and now it will not even turn over. Should I start with the starter or the alternator? Or somewhere else. Thanks!

Try to change the high energy ignition coil under the rotor cap as they go and all your car will do is crank and foul the plugs i paid 100 dollars to have shop find this problem the computer showed that i was getting spark but not enough upon removal of high energy coil there was a lil discoloring of the plastic cover which indicated spark burst thru casing and was not giving enough spark replacement part and new wires and plugs (old fouled) the car runs like new I love my honda !!!!

2 reasons a car won't start fuel and spark. Check the gapping check your battery alternator and fuel pump. To check the file pump have some one crank it to start it while you have the fuel flap open you should hear the pump if you don't it's the fuel pump if you hear it working check your work .
the engine (there are more than one engine) has a distributor. "have spark at coil down to dizzy but no spark at plugs" this can mean only 2 things. 1: spark wires are dead. all 4, kinda hard to believe huh? 2: the dizzy is way off time. so time the dizzy and now spark lands on each wire term. if not a dizzy engine, post exact version of engine and country.
Are you saying the engine will not crank, or not start ? If you think two of the cylinders are not getting spark, something may have happened to the coil pack or the crank-cam sensors. If all 4 plug wires are getting spark, two of them may be on the wrong cylinders. The firing order is not always the same as the plug wire layout.
On some cras the spark plugs are way back on the rear of the motor and are hard to get to. Usually they can put the car on the rack and get to the spark plugs from underneath. Shouldn't take 3-4 hrs.They might try checking the battery when it's under load as if trying to start the car. That test will tell you if you have a bad battery
1) If battery is older than 5 years replace it. Costco sells great batteries if you are a member.
2) Replace the distributor cap, rotor, spark plug wires, and spark plugs if these are more than 60,000 miles old.
Altogether about $100 in parts if you do it yourself.
Check the voltage on your battery with a voltmeter should be at least 12 volts without any power hooked up to it.
Pull a spark plug wire off of the coil, have someone crank the starter and hold the plug wire very close to the coil (same place you pulled the wire from) to see if there is a spark. Be careful and stay away from the engine will it is cranking
Charge the battery.
Check altenator belt and connections.
warm the car or battery (can you get the car in your garage?)
