Default car dies while driving

today i was driving my car which is a 97 ek coupe with a b16 motor and ob1 chipped ecu, and out of nowhere the car just died while rolling. I had about half a tank of gas. So my friends and i push started the car. Afterwards while driving home my c.e.l came on and my car bogs at 1500 rpm and then dies sometimes. I also have to add gas while turning the key. What is/are my problems here?

i was having some problems with it. Am i supposed to bend a paper clip so it goes into both slots on the cables with the blue? and then i turn on the ignition and see how many times it flashes? because my car doesnt die on me anymore i got that problem figured out. Now the thing is i was driving to school today and it turned on again and i lost power. After school when i drove home...nothing. What are possible reasons for this?
