Default STARNGE starting problem

i put my apexi ws 2 exhaust on my 98 accord and i tood it for a lap around the block and about half way afound it stalled and would not start up again. i was in 2nd geat so i didint stall the car or anything. so i waited a bout 5 min and it still didint start. sounded like it wasint getting any fuel so i held down the gas and it started right up........untill i had to wait at a stopsign and it stalled again. finally got it home (had to run some stopsigns lol). i had the car in my driveway and held down e gas to start it and had it at about 6grand for about 5 secionds and now it starts and idels fine. i compression tested it and all 4 cylinder are at about 180. im afraid to frive it now of fear it will stall and not start again. has anyone had this happen to them? the car is a all stock accept fot the catback 98 accord lx 5 speed
sry for the long post but i dont kno what to do oh and the cel is not on and it isint spitting n e codes

check for fuel pressure and spark. might be a main fuel relay showing it's self.

unfortunitly without seeing it in person this post will prob be useless

but there are many possibilities that could be wrong, but here are a few that quickly come to mind from your description...

main relay
fuel pump
dizzy
coil
bad spark plugs
poss loose battery terminals

... and the list goes on...

how many miles are on the car and have you verified its a fuel issue ??

k just got back fron autozone and got some new plugs. took the accord down and it ran fine and ran even better with the new plugs. the car has 114000 so thats not bad for a honda. i also talked to my buddies dad who has a honda shop n knows honda like the back of his hand. he said he thinks that the ecu just had a hard time with the increased airflow and the only way to find out whats wrong with it is to drive it but its doing fine now. its just so f-in weird that it did that tho
