1993 Accord won't start intermittently, runs fine after starting
Hi all, I have a 1993 Accord EX. Usually it starts and runs great. Sometimes (and these times are getting more common), it will turn over but it won't start. Sometimes it will start and then immediately die, over and over again. When it does start, though, it runs just fine until it's shut off. At first I thought it only did this in cold weather, but today it was around 80 degrees and it wouldn't start. Then a minute later it started fine.
Tested all four spark plug cables for spark; they all spark.
Distributor cap terminals and distributor rotor are a little corroded.
Can hear main relay click (although that's just the times I was testing it, for all I know it doesn't always click).
Second spark plug well from right has oil in it.
Idle has been kind of rough and erratic for a long time.
Any help is very appreciated. I do catering for a living and really need this thing to run. Thanks!
