Default HELP! CRX shut off while running after new clutch

I need some help...I have a 88 CRX stock D15 w/ stock 4 speed transmission. I rebuilt the engine in january. Car drove fine except that for some time my clutch got harder and harder over time.... I tried to adjust the clutch cable any way possible but nothing...I decided to crack the tranny off and get an entirely new clutch kit w/ a new flywheel as well. Put everything on torqued to specs. After i was done I turned on the car and went for a drive to test it.....like 2 minutes from my house the CEL light came on and moments later the car shut off on me while in gear....so immediately i pressed the clutch in while in gear and started the car again except now the car wouldnt go anywhere when i pressed the gas.....and it shut off again almost immediately...now I can crank the car but no start....

This happened to me at 12:30am so after car left me on the side of the road i pushed it back home and didnt feel like looking at anything but a shower and bed....I will check for normal things like spark, fuel, etc. in the morning but as for right now im frustrated and kind of need guidance.....btw the clutch does feel a lil better now than before but still doesnt feel normal, feels as if the clutch pedal is not traveling all the way down as it should....any help id appreciate and thanks for not bashing me
