First, test your battery, it could have a bad cell...Yes this could be caused by a bad ground, buy a repair manuel and find out where the ground is, use a test light and multimeter...could also be a bad ignition tumbler, if you have a trigger start, hook it up and try it.

1990 accord
ENGINE
The Accord's new 2.2 liter in-line, fuel-injected, four-cylinder engine uses a single overhead camshaft and four valves per cylinder. It is compact and light weight with an aluminum block and cylinder head. The engine is transversely located and angled 10 degrees to the rear (as opposed to 15 degrees to the front in the 1989 Accord) for improved weight distribution and better under-hood packaging.
