1992 honda accord needs oil every 10 minutes of drive time

Heet will not fix a bad fuel filter. See if it is bad and replace it if it is. the fuel filter is on the passenger side engine wall at the rear of the engine compartment. It looks about the size of an oil filter with a steel band around the center that secures it to the firewall.

Possibly, but I'd replace the leaking gasket/seal.
Also note, the Honda uses a timing belt (not a chain), and you don't want oil on the belt. If there's a chance the belt has gotten oil on it, you want to take the timing belt cover off, remove the belt, and clean all the oil covered parts. The oil can wear out the belt as well as cause the belt to slip timing

Have the engine trouble codes read on your car. It should have a stored fault code which will explain what is causing your surging.

This is a common problem and that is the distributor, but before replacing i would have it checked, it sounds like its not sparking and causing a no start, next time it doesnt start check for spark at the plugs,it sounds like the module is heating up inside distributor and failing. then it cools and works fine.

If you are experiencing hard starting when hot after a short stop (quick run in for a diet dew for example), the main relay (on backside of dash between steering wheel and door) may be culprit. It can be replaced laying on one's back in about 10 minutes. It cost me $76 bucks at NAPA last year.

THE BEST ALL AROUND OIL TO USE IS 10W30W, DON'T USE ANY HEAVIER OR YOU CAN DAMAGE THE ROD AND CRANK BEARINGS, ANY MAJOR BRAND, I LIKE VALVOLINE, HAVE USED IT FOR 40 YEARS, NEVER HAD AN ENGINE FAIL, AND I DRIVE VERY HARD..

When you turn the key to start, the engine cranks over? You must check for spark and fuel, if one is missing, the car won't run. Pull a spark plug, with plug wire connected and plug on a metal surface of the engine, have someone turn the key to start, while you watch for spark at the plug. It is easiest to see spark with car out of direct or bright light. If you have spark, attempt to start several times, pull a spark plug and check for evidence of fuel (wet) on plug. Let me know what you find, we can then continue.

your convertor is stopped up on your exhaust.when it shuts off again look under car and see if your exhaust is real hot

did you check the oil level it sound like a low level that lead your ecu to run in limp mode...

it sounds like your oil pump or your oil pick up might be blocked.
Try running an engine oil flush and changing your oil
