car:96 ek with a jdm b18c

i was driving my car today on the highway and all of a sudden it started to lag. what i mean by lag is that is didnt pull as hard as it usually does, and it seemed to sputter a bit...at idle it seemed to sputter also. i drove to my destination figured it was maybe bad fuel or a clogged fuel filter? that was causing it to lag and sputter.

3 hours later i went to drive it and was on the highway still same problem......and then it jus died on me outta no where. NO CEL's, sparkplugs are only 2 months old, used 93 octane from bp gas. I tried push starting it but car would not turn on at all. it cranks when i try to start it reguarly but doesnt actually start. i believe it started once but shut off right away. could is be that the motor is being starved of fuel?.......am not sure......i am going to take a look at it tom but before i do i want some expert advice from anyone as to what could be the cause.

ANY INPUT is appreciated

what could the cause of the problem be?

i am thinking mayb
1. clogged fuel filter?
2. could the stock DX fuel pump have gone bad?
3. clogged injectors?

i will hook up a fuel pressure gauge i jus got tom.........thanks for the suggestion...........bad distributor? would changing the cap n rotor help mayb?

 

check fuel, spark. Try letting the car cool down for about 3 hours and trying again. If it starts it may be your main relay. Like i said if u have fuel pressure its not it.

similar thing happened to me, turned out to be a bad distributor

 

im going to say distrubutor... when mine went out .. it just lagged horrible then tried to give it some gas and then it just died no cel.. your problem sounds just like mine when it went out

 

sounds like your coil/ignitor is bad

 

check your fuel pump ground its located just beside your thermostat . Check all your grounds

 

i say its your distributor, buy a new one.
