Hi I have a 1994 Honda Accord 2 door coupe ex version and I’m having a problem with starting my car . It’s cranking over but won’t start . It recently shut off and I change my spark plugs and it ran good for about two weeks and shut off again what would you recommend my next step
1st do what Scotty says, then tell us what you've found out

In all honesty I doubt that I’m loosing spark because I did that test when I first noticed I lost spark and then I changed the distributor cables because one of the wires had I leak so would you still recommend this process or would I move towards my distributor cap and if I had a clogged fuel injector how would I know based off experience
Well, if you had one clogged injector, your Honda would run, albeit unevenly, on the other 3 cylinders. Have you tried using starter fluid spray? If it starts/tries to start with that, you know it's a fueling problem; if it doesn't even try to start, it's definitely your ignition.
Note that sometimes problems with the switches/sensors that keep you from starting it in gear, or with you foot off the brake, can cause this kind of problem.
Do you have a check engine light? Is a code reader available?
The important thing to do in these situations is to isolate the problem - it's too easy to get caught up in changing/replacing a lot of things, which ends up both frustrating and expensive - better to get a $30 code reader than spend $150 on parts you don't need.
I bought the starter fluid I’m in the process of putting that on now and is there a way I can call you directly to let you know exactly what’s going on .
Unfortunately, I have to leave for the airport in little bit - but post here, and there are a lot of other folks who will help you.

No, there is no way to contact anyone here except by responses here on the site. (If anyone posts personal contact information it is deleted by moderators.)

Should I try changing my distributor cap now that I noticed that the holes are burned out ?
