Default HELP !!!! CAR SHUTS OFF RANDOMLY !!!!

ok first off, i have a 1992 Civic DX that HAD a stock motor in it.... along with a kill switch... there are times i would be driving randomly and my car would just die on me... it would crank, but wouldnt actually start... this would happen like once a month... but i just recently did a swap thinking that it would correct the problem but it happens MORE often now... it happens like EVERY SINGLE DAY... there are times that i would sit at a light, idling waiting for the light to hit green and it would just shut off... my friend just recently changed my DISTRIBUTOR... and i have a different ALTERNATOR that came with the D15b setup.... now i'm thinking, what can it be thats making my car turn off randomly ??? i still have power and all that, but the car just wont turn on after it shuts off... after the shut off process, i ALWAYS have to wait 5 long minutes for it to actually start up with no problem... oh, i forgot to mention that i had a kill switch on the stock D15b7 motor, but had to get it removed b/c of the wiring for the new JDM D15b motor... would it be the battery ??? alternator ??? distributor ??? wiring ???? kill switch ?????

I NEED HELP BADLY !!! I CANT STAND THIS !!! THANKS IN ADVANCE

check for fuel pressure when it won't crank. Listen for the pump before you engage the starter.

sounds like it has something to do with your fuel kill switch. if you dont hear your fuel pump then thats what it is

Could be the fuel filter, pressure regulator or even the fuel pump. Basically I'm thinking it's a fuel related problem based on the info provided. Start by replacing the fuel filter and running some injector cleaner through the fuel system. Go from there..
