Default 93 civic wont start - need help!

hey guys, i have a 93 civic that has a d16 sohc and it was driving perfectly fine and i parked it then the next day it wouldn't start for me, ive checked all the fuses and i thought it might be the fuel pump because i cant hear it turn on but when i put straight gas into the carb it still wouldnt start, this is my first honda and im lost with it, any suggestions on what might be keeping my car from starting let me know, and if you need anymore info about it just ask me, and also my dash lights arent coming on and its not a fuse so what else could it be? thanks for any help in advance.

You're saying that it will crank but not start, right? If nothing at all happens when you turn the key, check for dead battery or bad connections at the battery.

If it does crank, fuses are OK, but dash lights don't come on, that usually means it's the ignition switch (the one that the key turns). I think it is the yellow wire leaving the switch that powers the ignition and fuel systems. It should become live when the key is turned to positions II (run) or III (starter on).
