Check the main relay. It is a well-known failure point in Civics/CRXs of
that vintage. I used to have a 90 CRX Si (same engine as the Civic Si),
and went round and round with a local shop replacing all manner of
electrical components until finally discovering that the main relay was
the culprit.

Haven't found a Schrader valve.

Is it hidden inside something?

The Haynes manual has almost nothing about the relay.
It's under the dash? In the engine compartment?

So we have established that it is not ignition, but fuel related? Have you _ever_ changed the fuel filter in 30 years?
 
Fuel-pump relay failures are seldom (not never) thermal. Once they latch, they tend to be fine.

My experience is similar.
