Depends if its carb or fuel injected

The most common items mentionable are:

If its carb, could be carb issue or distributor

If its Efi, could be distributor or the main fuel relay

I do emphasize the word "could", best to get a mechanic to check if you are uncertain of what is under the bonnet.

Could be battery, I had a problem to start in the morning but it starts fine in the afternoon or when it's not too cold.
Issue fixed after I had them checked and replaced.

if it cranks, it could be the fuel relay. it is a small little gray box that sits just behind the lever that pops your bonnet. if you can get hold of a spare or from a friend just to give it a test.

When you turn the key in the morning, turn it to ON, and listen for the fuel pump running and then the click under the dash. If you can't hear them, then remove the main fuel relay and follow the DIY in repairing it. http://www.ozhonda.com/forum/showthread.php?31796-DIY-Main-PGMFI-Relay-repair

Otherwise, check the distributor, leads and ignition coil.
