Default car wont start

awhile ago my 91 accord with 100xxx died while i was sitting at a traffic light. car had troubles starting then it barely ran. drove it back to my school shop couldnt get the car to go past 1500 rpm with it floored. had a lot more troubles starting it the next day having to floor it and hold the key for awhile and if i let off the gas it would die. next day car wont start at all and hasnt since then. the timing is correct on the cam. checked the distributor noticed the cap and rotor were bad replaced those. took out my distridutor replaced with another used distributor using my new cap and rotor. replaced the plugs. fuel pressure is 37 with vacuum connected. map sensor and coolant sensor are also fine. checked the wires for spark. checked all fuses. one was blown cooling fan however car had never overheated did replace the fuse. and by looking at the plugs it seems that it is running rich. tommorow i am going to check the iac any other ideas as to what the problem could be thanks Joe
