Default Ocassional Starting Problem

I have a 91 Honda Accord Ex 2dr Auto with about 180,000 on it that i bought last summer.The only modifications i have done is Short Ram intake and Sound System along with replacing all the Belts, Timing Belts, CV Axles and in the process of rebuilding the front suspension (upper control arms/ball joints,Lower control arm bushings and sway bar links)My problem is once and a while when i shut the car off the try to start it right after (like putting in gas) it will turn over but not fire and keep turning. i have found if i put it in neutral and push it like a foot then hit the brakes enough to stop it quick it will start just fine. anyone know whats causing this because its pretty embarrasing when it happens. This happens very rarely but it sucks none the less. I thought maybe its a clogged fuel filter or faulty fuel pressure regulator. Any suggestions or info will help.

With 180,000 miles the fuel filter should be changed out anyway, so start there. But since it's an intermittent problem diagnosing the fuel system and ignition will be a problem- unless the next time it happens it's where you can work on it without pushing it.

Get under the hood and see what's missing to fire the engine(fuel, spark, compression)
since it starts most of the time I'd assume for now you have decent compression and timing is okay. Try to find out if it's ign. or fuel you lack.
