Icon2 1986 Prelude

Well I have been "Messing" around with my 186k "toy" for 3 weeks, it seems to not always start, but I can fabricate its failure.
I do have spark as I have replaced the plugs, Igniter unit and Battery.
When I go out to start the car up if I turn the ignition VERY fast it sparks up and runs fine about 90 of the time.
When I turn it off and fire it up again it will run but will glug and struggle and die if I hit the gas (so I dont) the third time I turn it off and try to start it up it just turns and turns over and over.. I have checked spark and am getting it to the plugs. It only seems to choke out after only being initially started up

can any one offer any directions as to where I should look?

If I pay $80 to get it scoped can they point me in the right direction?

help me help myself

Lee
