My 92 Honda Accord has a systemic problem. It cranks, but does not start. Here's are some info:
Battery is good. Cranks normally. However, at times it seems like it's not getting the fuel, or proper mixture or something, then its just cranks and not start. When ever this happens, the only thing to fix it is to try it many times, up to 20-30 times, and using the suggested method of pumping the gas pedal seveval times, then keep it depressed and recranks. Only after so many times, it then starts.
It does not sound like a fuel pump problem. Because once runs, it runs fine, no hiccups.
It seems to run across this problem when the engine is cut off and it seems like engine sucks the last drop of gas out of the line and the it whines down, not quite a normal clean engine cut off. It happens on hotter days too.
At any rate, not exactly sure, but again the poor's man fix has always been to recrank up until the battery is dead which has not occur yet. It eventually starts.

I'm guessing ignition problem. (educated guess)
Weak spark.
Change you coil.

Just because of this line you said "not quite a normal clean engine cut off. " To me, that could be a timming problem. Have the timming checked. If its to high, the car will try to keep running when you turn it off. Would also explain why its hard to start everyday. Have that checked.
Worse case...Your timming chain "jumped" Major fix IF that happened, so lets hope its not that.

I'd try replacing the fuel filter. By the way, pumping the pedal does nothing for a fuel injected engine. It did do something with carburetors.

Those are classic symptoms of the most common problem in that era Honda - an intermittent fuel pump relay, known as a "main relay." See the first source for details and a test. Your main relay is not behind the change compartment, though, it is above the driver's legs, under the dash, way at the top above the cruise control module. Replacement part is about $60 (for an aftermarket relay), labor is about the same.

change the gas filter.sounds to me like dirt is settling in the filter and not letting enough gas to come through,and after a while,it flushes away the dirt and the gas starts to flow,until you leave it sit for a while,then the dirt settles again.

Check your fuel filter and your fuel injectors
