My 1999 Civic won't start

My '99 Civic sat in the garage for 2 weeks without starting. When I
tried about half an hour ago to start it, it simply didn't start. The
battery seems OK as everything that needs the battery works properly,
including headlights.

The car was starting perfectly before I left it for this 2 week
vacation, so I am puzzled as to what could possibly be the problem.

Any ideas where and/or how to start troubleshooting?

Thanks,
Sam

========================================

If it's option #1, you have to _HOLD it to the floor_ while cranking the
engine for up to 15 seconds at a time. This is in the owner's manual,
and it always happens after the car has sat overnight, or a weekend. I
had it happen to me and it was very confusing that a vehicle could be
flooded by sitting in the garage over the weekend . . Search google and
you'll find the full explanation.
