1992 Honda Accord 6 cyl 188000 miles

My car will start when it feels like it.I can drive around for a day or so an ride smoothly. Then some days it will shut down while driving. Sometime it takes two or htree tries to start it.I work twelve hour shifts an can go out to move it closer an it want start, later it purr like a cat.I have gotten the plugs an wires changed, also oil change.I had a mechanic pick it up an it did not give him any problems. We are going to try the fuel filte, r what do think?
