Had the same problem on my old 90 std hb. Check voltage and resistance against the Honda specs on the ignition coil and ignitor unit inside the distributor cover with a multimeter. I ended up replacing both of em b/c the values were out of spec then she fired right up...Good luck

Yep ignitor. Also you might want to take off your dist. cap and look inside sometimes the rotor comes loose, and fires sporaticly(sp). Not on time just fires and isn't enough to run the car. I've had this happen before has many others before me. Check that first if it is good, bad ignitor.
