Today, I started the car like 3 times and it refuse to start. I waited 1minute and started it again and it worked. Please help me with what could be wrong.

Thanks for your prompt response.

Now you have to start with the basics.
Do you have Spark?
Are you getting gas?
You must check for these when the car isn't starting.
Honda fuel pumps are usually pretty reliable.
Honda distributors are another story.
It sounds to me like your problen may be comming from a faulty ignitor coil in the distributor but lets check these things before we condem anything.

Thanks Rowtear!
As for gas, it's pretty coming and can you tell me a good way to check for Spark(sorry am a novice in this)
But is it also right if I suspect the battery because have not changed the battery since I got the car and it should be more than a year now. What major symptoms comes if it's a battery issue.

As for your battery, As long as the engine is turning over at a normal speed, I would not worry too much about it.
Remove one of your spark plugs and plug it back into the plug wire, hold it up against a metal surface on the engine and have an assistant roll the engine over.
You should see a bright blue spark comming from the plug.
If the spark is kind of yellow, it is weak.
Note: you should do this when the car is acting up.
