Default Car shutting off problem

I have a 95 civic ex. The car starts up fine but after like 30 seconds of idling it will just shut off.

Any suggestions on what this might be?

Are you holding your foot on the gas?
Or does it just die out after 30 seconds?
It sounds like a fuel problem, does the CEL come on?

Check your fuel pump and IACV..
& if you have one, did you check the troubleshooting section in your Haynes Manual?
