Default 1993 Honda Civic DX! B20B Swap! Issues staying on help please!

I have a 93 honda civic dx with a b20b. It has a whole brand new tune up. it has new plugs, wires, ignition coil, cap, fuel filter. I took off all the grounds on the car and cleaned them all so i kno theres a good connection with the grounds. My car wants to run for abt 15 min then when i took it driving around my neighborhood and got on it, it will hit high rpms then spit a couple times then i shift and it does it again but when i turned around i got on it again and it spit then the car shut off and it wouldn't start back up at first but i sat down for a copule minutes and it started up again then started spitting again. people tell me it could be my fuel pump is abt to go completely out and that i should change it cus a few people i asked say theyre almost positive that thats my problem. if someone could help me the best they can please it would be highly appreciated. Thanks!

When engine won't start, test for spark and whether the fuel pump primes.

--------------
If the engine lacks both spark and fuel, then resolder the main relay.
--------------
If the engine only lacks spark:

Resistance test the coil.

Have AutozZone test the igniter unit.

I replaced the main relay and the ignition coil is brand new nd mycar won't make it down the road to autozone without cutting off. it will drive for a little bit then it shuts off randomly out of the blue after it spits a little bit.

It's rare for Honda fuel pumps to go bad.

When engine won't start:

If the fuel pump won't prime, the engine has spark, and the CEL turns on and then off after 2 seconds after the key is turned from off to ON(II), then bench test the fuel pump and check whether its connector gets battery voltage and good ground.

Check for any fray in the wires, one of my injectors wire broke off but I couldn't tell under the factory heat shrink. Literally don't be lazy when checking either, wiggle every connection lightly.

Check to make sure all your grounds are good, especially the one on the alternator
