First check the big three: Air, Fuel, and Spark. Check your timing. This is one of the most common issues with any engine. If you have good fuel pressure, and the timing is correct with good spark (making sure the spark plug wires are on the correct spark plugs), it is most likely a bad sensor. Honda D16 engines are relatively straight forward mechanically and electronically, and are not prone to major problems. If you have recently worked on the engine, back track all of your work, checking everything you moved, adjusted, replaced, etc. If the problem came completely out of the blue, I'm guessing bad sensor. Could be anything from bad crank position sensor, to bad MAP sensor. Since your car is pre OBDII, diagnosing a bad sensor is a little bit harder, and having a local shop look at it will likely be the quickest and cheapest resolution.
