Default Honda Accord 1992 only starts with starter fluid

I have a Honda Accord 92 and the only way it starts is with starting fluid. When it starts though it stays running no problem, no turning off and will stay on for hours if need be. And it will start right back up if you turn it off. It only needs starter fluid to start if it has been sitting for more than one hour.

I already talked to a mechanic and he said it's most likely the cold ignition switch or cold injector or something along those lines, I forget what he exactly said. He did say it'd cost around 350$ to fix.

I'd like to get some more opinions about the problem. Any help would be much appreciated.

Probably fuel delivery problem; main relay or fuel pump. See post # 4 in this thread:

you have indicated a fuel failure it, its not an injector unless all 4 are cold(unlikely). I agree with previous post main relay or fuel pump check if power is going to fuel pump or it may be igntion swtich.
