Default 91 Accord often not starting, blinking Sports mode light

hi, I have been having a problem with my 91 Accord (143k miles) not starting. It almost sounds like it needs gas, though it doesn't. This is happening about 40% of the time I try to start it. I turn the key, it cranks, but doesnt start, or maybe it will start, sputter, and die. After this happens, my sports mode light starts blinking. Now I recently also had another problem with the speed sensor where the speedometer would drop to zero when driving, and the sports mode light would blink. This problem I fixed when I replaced the speed sensor, but I still have this problem of it not starting at times, which seems to be increasing. Might anyone have any ideas? Thanks very much!
