Default trouble starting

love my '89 accord lxi, 280k miles, runs great... but it has occasional issues starting. it will turn over and fire then die immediately. this only happens once every month or so then it starts fine 20-30 min later. could it be the computer controlling the distributor? any ideas or suggestions? thanks.

Have a fuel test done on the car for fuel pressure to see if it has the correct pressure..
