1997 Honda Civic having trouble starting? - 1

I have a 1997 Honda Civic automatic that is having trouble starting. I recently got a new car and unfortunately neglected my Civic. It has say for a month now and when I tried to start it today it would turnover but not start. I put some gas in it but it didn't change anything. It doesn't sound really rough or anything, it just won't start. This happened a couple years ago and when my mechanic came to look at it he did something under the hood, like pressing a choke or something, to help it start. I can't remember what he did and I have since moved too far to use him now. Does anyone have any ideas or know what it was he might have done to help it start?
