Default car dies out and afterwards, car has a hard time starting

just did my swap recently, GSR motor into a 1993 civic hatchback
well it ran fine for about 2 weeks

but recently, before i go to work, i start my car and let it warm up, and while its running, the car just suddenly dies. Note that i didn't press on the gas, brake, or clutch.

after i try to start it, it turns over, and turns for a long time before it fires up, but it does fire up eventually.

anyone know what the problem could be?? should i change my distributor.
help is needed
thanks
