Did you check the spark plugs? And I'd also take one of your plugs out and look on the plug for a melt mark. And that means your wires are miss firing so I'd replace them. Change your cap and rotor to. If none of that works get your timing checked.
edit. Will it run if you give it gas? Try . And if oit does will it bogg. When starting it?

sean and ryukkid are right, the fuel filter could be clogged. What I have seen happen is that the car will start fine, then die. When you go to restart it, the dirty filter could be passing just enough fuel to get it to start but then die. Try the simple things like that first. The filter is right on the firewall and not too expensive to replace, and even if its not the filter, its always a good idea to do it because something as simple as that can give you a huge headache. Check the air filter too and if its filthy try running it without it like was mentioned. Let us know what you find.

If the Fuel filter is a year old and it was brand new. Then it's not the fuel filter. I had this problem before mine was the fuel pump was shorting out (water leak in the trunk) but could be fuel pump or fuel relay is my guess but I would check those first.
Sean I don't think it's the spark plugs if it was? it be misfiring.
Did the 1993 Integra had the resistor box like the older civic?

Another cause could be a vacuum leak. Maybe it stalls out due to the leak but once it starts, it's warmed up enough to expand the hose (or whatever the leak is coming from) and seal the leak.
It's a stretch but worth a shot. Best way to find out is grab a propane tank and a hose. Get the car started and spray the gas around your hoses and engine. It will either get really low or die out when you add the propane to the leak. It's a lot safer then it sounds.
