93 SE Crank no start

Since you stated the car will now run for 1-2 seconds, try this. Unplug the MAP sensor connector. This will not necessarily mean the MAP sensor is faulty. What will happen is that the PCM will go into pre-programmed limp mode, which ignores inputs from engine sensors.
This test is to see if the problem may possibly be due to an out-of-range sensor; there are other sensors also used by the PCM. You will probably get a Check Engine Light and trouble code; but, see if the car keeps running instead of only for 1-2 seconds.

Engine running for only 1-2 seconds sounds like a faulty ignition switch.
Next time you start it, hold the key switch and don't let it return all the way to the on position. See if that makes a difference.
If so, then it could be the electrical portion of your Ignition switch.
I had this happen on my 90 Accord EX.

Engine runs on 3 cyls, but you can't ID which cylinder or miss is moving from one cylinder to another. Is that the situation?
How were you able to determine running on 3 cyls w/ only a 2 sec run time? That's too short to ID which cylinder is at fault.
What happens when you attempt a start on throttle body cleaner or starter fluid w/ fuel injectors disabled (pull power to injector resistor bank)?
Does it start readily and run 5-10secs? If yes, a fuel delivery problem may be causing short run time; main fuel relay opening, blocked fuel inlet screen or fuel filter.
This could be faulty ignition switch as suggested. Check blk/yel wire at distributor for power loss when engine stops.
good luck

Suggest verifying you have correct order for spark plug leads at distributor. 1-3-4-2 is correct sequences. An "A" marks #1 on distributor cap. Aftermarket cap may be different.
This suggestion is indicated since runs on 3-cyls and not on 4, suggesting additional cylinder gets firing order so bad it won't start.
