battery or electrical .. if the battery is shot and can't hold a charge, it will pull too much current from the alternator and in turn cause the distributor to not get enough spark

Dude, check your engine grounds. Also, check the ground inside the car around the fuse box. If you have a loose engine ground, all kinds of crazy **** will happen. It took me 2 weeks before I thought to check my grounds. it was the ground on the thermostat housing that was loose.

Make sure your battery terminal is not touching your metal air intake pipe. It will short out and burn a hole through the intake tube. Don't ask me how I know this... <--me

check the IGNITOR!!

or if your battery is low or if you have to bump start it then it could be a bad alternator.....

but my friend had the same problem and it was the ignitor which is found in the distributor.....runs around 80$ at acura.....hth
