    Perform tests in Sections A and B below:

    Go over the electrical system and check the spark plugs (NGK only), rotor, and distributor cap. I suspect the Ignition Control Module and/or coil may be bad--AutoZone and O'Reilly Auto can test these for free. Because of the age of the car, I would replace them. Here's how to replace the ICM and coil yourself:

    Incidentally, I have never seen a bad Honda fuel pump, even though many people replace them. Further diagnosis usually reveals the problem is related to a blown fuse, bad ECM, or failing main relay (cold solder joints). If the problem persists, check/replace the main relay.

    The most problematic components on Hondas are ICMs, coil, and main relays--I would focus there.
