Default Car just shuts off...cranks but no spark DA Integra

WASSUP HONDA-TECH..I HAVE AN ANNOYING PROBLEM THAT OVE BEEN TRYING TO SOLVE FOR THE LONGEST. ITS KINDA SAD THAT I GO TO LINCOLN TECH INSTITUTE AND NONE OF THE TEACHERS CAN FIGURE OUT THE PROBLEM..EITHER THERE FREAKING LAZY OR THERE JUS REALLY STUPID...

THE PROBLEM: SO MY CAR STARTS FINE IN THE MORNING AND THEN IF I DRIVE IT AROUND FOR LIKE SAY 10MIN 2O MIN. THE CAR JUST SHUTS OFF...NO BOGS NO STRUGGLE JUS SHUTS OFF....I GO TO TRY TO START IT BUT IT JUST CRANKS BUT DOESNT START. BUT IF I WAIT LIKE 5MIN AND THEN TRY STARTING IT AGAIN IT WILL CRANK AND START BUT THEN WILL SHUT OFF IN A WINDOW FROM 2MIN TO 15MIN..THEN THE SAME PROCESS I WILL HAVE TO DO OVER AND OVER...

THINGS I HAVE CHANGED THAT MIGHTVE BEEN THE PROBLEM
IGNITION COIL
IGNITOR
MAIN FUEL RELAY
FUEL FILTER
SPARK PLUGS N WIRES
CHECKED THE IGN TIMING AND BELT TIMING
THEN I CHANGED MY DISTRIBUTOR 3 TIMES TO MAKE SURE THEY WERENT DEFECTED.....

I MAKE SURE TO HEAR THE RELAY CLICK WHEN THE KEY IS TURNED TO ON AND THEN TURNED OVER WHICH I HEAR...I ALSO HEAR MY FUEL PUMP PRIMING SO I DONT THINK ITS THAT

THIS IS REALLY ANNOOYING A MECHANIC TOLD ME ITS PROBABLY MY ECU OR DISTRIBUTORAND I TOLD HIM I CHANGED THE DIZZY 3 TIMES. SO LEAVES ME WITH CHANGING MY ECU WHICH I HAVENT DONE YET..

ARE 1990'S INTEGRAS NONE FOR THIS PROBLEM?? PLEASE HELP NOT EVEN A JAPANESE MECHANIC CAN TELL ME WHATS WRONG WITH MY CAR

DO YOU THINK THAT MAYBE I CHANGED THE DISTRIBUTOR 3 TIMES THE IGNITOR KEEPS GETTING FRIED?

if u start the car and leave it on does it shut off? like turn it on and walk away...
or does it only shut off if u drive it?
idk what steps to diagnose u have done so just saying what i have done.
turn it on let it idle till the point where the fans kick in..
then do the wiggle test..might be a loose connection to the dizzy happened to me awhile back ago

Quit buying junk auto zone distributors lol. Check evrything over again. Did you hook it up right? Check to make sure power going in. You need to find a known running car and borrow the dizzy and see if it runs yours.

I see. My neighbor went thru 4 of the auto zone ones. He was gettin ready to tear into motor and I put my dizzy on and fired it up. Just because something is new doesnt mean it works. Can you test for power at the harness?
