I just had a honda give me same kind of problem. It felt as if the timing was too far advanced and it would buck when trying to start, I found that the starter motor was bad causing not enough cranking power. It was a last ditch effort and it was the first time I had seen a starter act this way but thats what fixed it.

Look real close at the connector at the computer because I have also seen them corrode fromwater intrusion and sometimes unplugging them and plugging them back in work temporarily
