Default Help 1996 Dx Motor Keeps shutting off while driving

The motor feels weak when trying to go from a dead stop. Today I was driving to the mall the motor just shutdown while I was just rolling in nuetral going about 30mph, I cranked it up and it started back up. While going back home from the mall on the highway going about 110mph on 5th gear the motor shut down again, I put it in nuetral and cranked motor again but will not start, popped it back in 5th gear and popped the clutch to jump start motor but motor will not start, got lucky traffic was way behind and I was in the high speed lane which had no shoulder, so pulled off to the slow lane to the break down lane, cranked the motor but will not start, waited for about 2 or 3 minutes jumped back in car and it started right up. Well let me know if you guys know what the problem could be, thanks.

get a new main relay

fuel pump issues probably....

don't be doing 110 either....you have no clue how to control a car at that speed!

Ok, thanks. I'm a pretty good driver. Gone over 155mph with my supra handled it good. I only speed when there's no cars around me. Thanks though.

def sounds like a prob due to the fuel system might be the fuel pump but could also be a clogged fuel filter try changing ur fuel filter first its the cheapest if thats not the problem check the pump

Yeah I was also thinking it might have something to do with the fuel system but unsure of which part might be the causing the problem, thanks. Anymore info, it will be appreciated, thanks.
