When this happens do you hear the fuel pump prime?

If you don't hear the fuel pump i'd be willing to bet it's the PGM-fi main relay.. located next to your hood release cable.. it's a grey box.. with brown on it and a connector.. with a 10mm holding it in..

Try tapping it untill you hear the fuel pump come on.. for a permanent fix remove the relay.. remove the relay cover and soldier the dry joint and reinstall.. problem fixed.

**edit**

that is if this is for a 92-95.

Check the starter switches on the clutch pedal or AT shifter. Also test the starter cut relay (MT), if relevant.
