Electrical problem
1995 Honda Passport 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual

I have charged my battery and it seems not to be the problem. The car electrical will start and almost start but i have to continuosly turn the key quickly. Sometimes it catches and starts and lately it hasn't been starting at all. We have tried jumping it but it still will not start, so we charged the battery. If anyone has suggestions to what it could be and inexpensive tests or ways i can figure out the cause. Thank You.

Sounds like its cranking over and will not start if so do below:

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -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
