Car bogs down while accelerating then dies as I slow down....
So this morning I was on my way home from work on my 93 EG Hatch (B series swapped)and I stepped on the gas coming out of the exit into the interstate and the car just bogged down. Tranny was fine because I could downshift and I could feel the clutch engage so I don't think it's the clutch. However, I would accelerate and the RPM's where pegged at 0 and as soon as I slowed down to pull over on the side of the road,the car died. Tried to start it right back up and the motor turned but that was about it. Waited a few minutes and gave it another try and it strugled to start like it had run out of gas but I had half a tank of gas. Waited another few minutes and it started right back up. It drove fine until I accelerated again and it did the same thing. Thinking it could be fuel related like pump or clogged filters. Any thoughts/similar experience?
I've been reading A LOT of posts but I'm simply trying to narrow it down.
Any thoughts appreciated.
Thanks

Re: Car bogs down while accelerating then dies as I slow down....
So today I replaced the fuel pump, fuel filter, plugs and wires and I still have the same problem.
I found out today that the car will shut off after a while of being idling. Then it takes about 10 mins for it to start back up. It looks to me that its temperature related? Still not throwing any codes. If I crank it for about 5 seconds, the CEL will come on but it won't stay on whenever the car starts again so I can't even get a code to reference from.
Could it be a sensor somewhere?

check your main relay. if thats okay, check your rotor inside your distrubutor for water.
