My 91 honda accord won't start
I found out my starter was loose on my car last week when it won't crank so I had it tighten and everything was perfect until last night when I got in the car and it crunk for 2 seconds and cut off it tries to crank but it won't so I'am trying to figure out if it' probably the starter or timing jumped on me or something!

I had the same problem with my old honda and it was the starter. It could be a number of other things like a loose starter wire, spark plugs, wires, starter, etc. Check these things first and check the connections to the battery. I had a problem where my lights would come on and my car sounded like it wanted to crank and wouldn't and it was the wires. You need to replace battery wires in old cars and it only costs about $20 but if it is the starter it could cost more. The symptoms are of a bad starter too because it can act up one minute and then act fine and then do the same thing again. It could be another problem also not related to the starter like the fuel pump etc but this is RARE in hondas. Check what I wrote above.

I don't know why I said it could cost more if it is the starter it WILL cost more. In my Honda is cost $280 to replace but you can get it cheaper at a junk yard. This may very well not be the starter at all and could be battery connections, etc I just have it checked out. If you eventually get it cranked take it to Auto Zone and have them check the starter and battery connections because they do this for free and if they find no problems take it to a mechanic and have them check it out. Hope this helps!
