Did it just start doing this randomly? Like it ran fine, then one day you went to go start it up and it does this?

You'll have to figure out whether is a fuel delivery problem, or maybe yourt timing/spark.
Thats a good place to start.

i was having a similar problem with a crx i bought for $500, i bought a new distributor but i am having a problem still, im getting a spark but no fuel, my uncle is going to check the fuel pressure and maybe change the fuel filter, but i dont want to do this if its not going to work, it starts up but as soon as i let my foot off the gas it just dies, any suggestions?

I'd had the same problem, try checking the main relay under the driver side dash. it might be going bad, even though it starts a bit then dies. good luck
