Icon2 B16A troubles

I have a 1988 Honda CRX with a 1991 B16a and a 95 Civic DX Ecu engine swap (done before i got the car). It ran great for a year then it started dying intermittently but it would either start right back up or have to sit 5 minutes then it would start. I thought maybe it was something overheating like the fuel pump or the distributor and went to check by driving it til it warmed up and died (so i could test the CEL) however it died less than 2 miles from where i started and it didn't have time to warm up. I did try checking the CEL but it wouldn't give me any error codes. I've run out of ideas. Please help

It only ever died while driving so one of the time I killed it I tried introducing either via the air intake however I did not try testing the spark. I supected the ingitor because the trouble was intermittent. I belived it might be going bad and was stumbling when it warmed up. I will check for spark in the morning.
