Default 92 accord wont start again

My 92 accord won't run again. Every few weeks I park it and it won't start. Cranks ok, you can smell fuel, but won't start. Can't locate the filter to check, but since I smell fuel, filter should be good. Any help would be great.

Suggest trying to start w/ starter fluid sprayed into air intake (5-10 second shot). If car still refuses to catch and run briefly, then a spark problem is likely. Check for battery voltage on blk/yel wire at the distributor electrical connector w/ keyswitch ON. If missing 12V, the ignition switch is likely the problem.

If car catches and runs briefly, then ignition is likely good and problem is low/no fuel delivery.

good luck

Another common problem with that year honda is the main relay. Usually rears it's ugly head when interior temps are hot from sitting in the sun.
