Default 93 accord barely starts

slowly this has gotten worse: this car turns over like crazy, finally starts to fire on like one or two cylinders, chug chug and finally it works itself out and purrs like a kitten and drives like a new car all day, no other problems
even after a couple hours, same thing. the following have been replaced: plugs, wires, fuel filter, cap and rotor.

Have you tried checking for engine codes? See the common diy thread on top of the gen tech help forum for instructions on reading cel codes. Post any codes on here.

You can also pull the snorkel of the throttle body and have an assistant spray starting fluid directly into the throttle while you try to start the car. If the car improves when starting, then you have a fuel issue.

Did you verify with starting fluid?
