Its your distributor, they have an article on how to fix this on some Integra board because my friends DA9 used to do it. Just replace the cap and rotor and it should fix this problem.

I could be wrong but i'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with the cap and rotor. Mine did the same thing then left me stranded about 1 week later. I replaced the ignitor and coil and it started right up. By the way you can use a lot of the ignitors and coils out of different distributors.
