1991 Honda Accord 4 cyl Two Wheel Drive Manual

My 1991 honda accord when it stalls out most of the time it takes up to 10 minutes before it will start again in know it is not the distributor because it tested positive for a spark. The mechanic guy who looked at was stumped. He did tell me that the fuel system is losing pressure. Could the fuel pump be going bad or could it be something else entirely? Thanks for your time.

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
