Default weird problem.. car randomly turns off when i step on the gas.

i have a 97 del sol with a type r in it.
i was driving it today perfectly fine. first 20 to 30 minutes or so everything seemed ok. i stopped at this light and went for the go at green. as soon as a press on the gas peddle my car slowlys turns off. i dont know what possibly happened. keeps happening, i had to slam on the gas to get it going to a safe spot to keep the car. my car backfires when i try to turn it on now. its really weird but i have no idea whats happening with the car right now.

can i please get some feedback on this.

try a buddies dizzy on it, it sounds like your ignitor or coil inside the dizzy!! more than likely ignitor though!! best bet before spending money though is if a buddy has a dizzy that fits or if you have a spare that doesn't either out the whole one on or swap out coil and ignitor!!
