ignitor or coil perhaps? Have you checked your plugs for spark?

I had the exact same problem with my gsr. It would start and sit there and "ponder" whether it'd stay on or not. After I replaced my plugs, the problem started to fade. It happens once or twice every few months, so I think I'll have to replace my wires as well. As long as you're getting spark and the car's starting eventually you're good. Definitely fix it though in case it gets worse.

recently did a tune-up on my g/f's 94 Integra LS and a day after the tune-up the car wouldn't start for the life of it..........turned out the coil took a dump. I managed to get a used one outta a 98 and the dude charged me 1/2 of what the dealer wanted for a new one. It worked out 'cause i got a free tow outta it. I think the dude was too high to realize.........not my fault
