Try testing the ignition coil. I have two friends that have a civic and an integra that burned out there ignition coils. Wont hurt to check. Hope everything works out cause i hate it when somehting out of the blue happens to my integra.

its definitely your ignition coil: check the ignitor pack and the coil itself. I had to replace both of them because my car was doing the same as yours.

Have someone help you, pull one of the spark plug wires, hold it near the block, and crank it, should be a spark between the wire and the block, try not to zap yourself, fire extinguisher is a handy item to have around when doing this stuff. For fuel pump, you need to see if it is putting anything out, which requires removing a fuel line, you probably need to replace the fuel filter anyway

Honda calls it the 'ignition control module' (ICM). It's located in the distributor.

I bought mine for $199 (including 2 day shipping - but it was more like 5 days) from Acura Carland.
