My car won't start

I own a 93 honda accord 177000 4 cylinder. My engine light is coming on when I turn key, starter will turn over, but engine will not fire up. I've had this problem before, but the light would go off by itself and the car would start right up. My best guess would be some kind of wiring problem between starter and distributor?

When it cranks and refuses to start-check for spark by disconnecting a plugwire and grounding it to the engine while cranking it over- do you have spark?

If you got spark-now check the fuel pressure make sure its the correct pressure. Good pressure-remove sparkplugs is it wet with fuel-if not the injector/s are not functioning-could be that the computer is not getting a crank signal from the igniton and therefore is not energizing the injector/s.

That's it for now
