Icon6 97 accord ex vtech 5spd trouble staying on

cranking over stays on about maybe like three minutes then idle will drop an shut off. I try pumping the gas an wont stay on. I don't know were to check if it fuel regulator or in the ignition. I don't know what could it be maybe also the throttle body position sensor could be a factor???

Did you check for codes? Does your 'Check Engine' light come on?

Crap shot, remove the gas cap and see if it does it again.

i had a similar problem in a crx, turned out to be the distributor... sounds like something electrical/a sensor since its starting and then dieing but could be other things just have to do troubleshooting like comp test, look for corrosion, test alt, timing could be off, check injectors ect.
