Default Car giving me some wierd problems PLEASE HELP! =\

I'm running a drag intercooler and manifold. 2.5" downpiping with straight piping to the back to a magnaflow exhaust. t3/t04 turbo, vortech 12:1 fmu, hks ssq bov,missing link. This is all on a 1994 integra LS. Stock injectors and stock fuel pmp ( will replace with walboro just waiting installation.) Now it cranked up fine , i drove it around but when i stopped to go to the gym. Then i came back out i tried to start it up and it didn't start. I heard it crank but it sounded like it didn't catch the spark. Now i called my friend and he told me to remove the 7.5a fuse in the engine bay for a couple of minutes and replace it. Well in process of taking it out it fell under the fuse box to where i can't reach it. So a bought a 10 a fuse and put it in and the car started fine.

When i went out again , turned off the car and tried to crank it it wouldn't start. I'd have to do the same thing by removing the fuse and putting it back in a few minutes later. What could be causing this? would it be the injectors? or the spark plugs? somebody please help because this is so annoying!!!

I had the same problem. It has happened to me like 3 times now but not consecutively. I try turning on the car but it just wont start. I can hear it trying to crank but that's it. I have to either try to step on my acceleration pedal or keep trying to start her up for like maybe 10-20 mins before it would start up. But once it starts it wont die for awhile later. I believe it's bc i was running really rich and the injectors (rc 440cc) were flooding my engine. After reading some ppls' comments it makes me wonder if it could be my coils now.

some higher milage hondas have funky ignition switches. Try moving the key up and down, back and forth while you crank it. I have had two that need the 'special touch' to get spark. Sometimes it just seem like another problem because you changed something then the car started. Probably cuse I turned the key a diffrent way because i thought I fixed it or something.. try it, can't hurt.
