Default car sputtering

I start and drove my 1991 Honda Accord EX today. It starts fine, I drove for about 5 minutes and it sputters. I stopped, then I started the car again and drove for 15 minutes, it was a little bit better but I can feel it sputtering. The last time I drove this car was 3 days ago, and it drove great. Now, after I start the car, it will sputter and dies after 5 minutes. I have no problem with starting the car, I don't see a smoke coming out of the muffler. I recently changed oil. For the past 8 months, I have replaced Spark plugs and wires, distributor cap and rotor, fuel filter, PCV valve, I cleaned the IAC valve, and bought a new battery. Please help me

I had the same problem two months ago...I found that my plug wires were "spider webbing" i.e..My Number 1 spark plug wire was arcing over and grounding out on the inside of the plug tube. replacing the plug wires helped me...

DONE!, I put about a half can of Sea Foam treatment. White smoke came out of my hood, the smoke was gone by the time I opened the hood tho. That was it!. Now the car runs a little smoother than it already is, no more sputtering. I was hoping the smoke would come out of the exhaust pipe, but anyways thanks for your help.
