98 Acura Cl not Starting

Hi I have a 1998 Acura Cl 2.3 Auto and it doesnt start. I went to fill gas and afterwards it never started. The battery is ok because my lights and stereo work just fine. I made sure the car was in park and tried starting it in nuetral also, but no luck. What could it possibly be? please help thank you!

its probably the ignition switch in the steering column. if not that check the coil & distributor.

If it won't turn over, it's your starter, keep cranking it till you get past that part of the gear and it'll fire
