Default starting problem

hey guys whats up?...well i have a91 hatch with a b16 swap...im having starting problems...
it used to be only on cold starts that i would have to turn the engine like four times before it actually started...but now it does it all the time....
i try priming the pump three or four times before starting to see if thats the problem but doesn't work...i've changed the fuel filter on it just in case....

sparkplugs???

Sparkplug wires?

I mean, those are there to start the car right?

So if gas isn't an issue, what else can it be??? think man, think

Honda OEM are the better choices... there was a thread with dyno numbers comparin NGK blues(brand new), MSD(brand new), and Honda OEM wires(which were used and old) and the Honda wires made the most power... just a thought...

Change the plugs and wires, and if its not that check ur dizzy, if its not that check ur starter... You should buy a Helms manual bro....

anyone with a honda should have a helms manual. You'll never have to take your car to a mechanic again. Unless your tool chest isn't up to par.

I'm a mechanic, and I have a Chiltons. Any other ideas? I was told it might be the fuel pump.
