I'd also check fuel pressure... might be a shot pump.
i had an 89 Integra briefly and the igniter went out on me in the middle of winter in a blizzard. so i'd check the igniter and coil too... might be a likely suspect. on my teg it would crank and sputter for a couple seconds.. die. replaced the igniter in -20 degree weather and it fired right up.
another reason id sight the igniter is they are classic for starting up cold and then NADA when its hot.
thanx for the ideas, im gonna get the car this weekend and do a compression check and see how that looks. i checked the dip stick and took off the coolent fill cap and neither of them looked like anything out of the ordinary so hopefully its not a head gasket.
