1998 Acura TL Automatic 289720 miles

My security alarm went off, and we turned it off. I then tried to start my car after this happened and it won't start. We have tried to put it in neutral to start it, it has plenty of gas and oil, and the batter is fine. We know the battery if fine because it sounds like the engine is going to start, but it just won't turn over. And all the dome lights etc work when the key is turned to accessory.

If you sure that the security system is not affecting it-might want to do below to determine if its fuel or spark related issue

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs,coil's resistances,distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
