Icon6 Major Sputtering Problem

I have a 95 ex civic with a 1.5 turbo setup and 2days ago I started my car to let it warm up like I always do and after 10min I turned it off. Shortly after I got in my car to drive off and when I got about 100yrds from my house the car cut off, I started the car back up and the car idled at like 200 rpm and was sputtering like crazy and if you stepped on the gas it would cut off, so I let it sit for about 30min and started it up again and the car wouldn't go past 4000 rpm so I towed it home any ideas as to what is going on
