Electrical problem
1993 Honda Accord 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive 166000 miles

would start and then die on the road. Then would start up in couple days later. Won't start at all. Pretty sure not fuel pump. When turn key A.B.S, shifting collum lights up in park and drive at same time, and check engine light and then they all click off after about 2 seconds. Then seems to revert to normal start up mode with oil light and light on collum only in the gear park illuminated. But still won't start. It kicks over

Do below and see what happens when it refuses to start

Get a carb cleaner and spray into the carb or the throttle body on an EFI. Did it start and die? If not disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine -have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel problem, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light.

If both fuel and spark is present-check the valve and ignition timing, this will lead you to problems with compression and valves opening and closing at the wrong time

Check for spark.
If no spark, replace the ignition module. Hodna calls it an igniter.
Most of the time that's what goes out on these cars.
Its inside the distributer cap, under the rotor. Looks something like this:
