Default Cranks but won’t start

Hey i have a 93 honda del sol, couple weeks ago i noticed it lost a lot of power and the check engine light came on, when i would step on it it would struggle to actually go, it kept getting harder to start , then i was in the middle of driving it and i went to turn and it died, i went to start it but it would just crank.

I checked the check engine light and it was the O2 sensor, so i swapped that but it still wouldn’t start, i’ve done the fuel filter, spark plugs, spark plug wires, i got a new ignition coil, cleaned out the distributor cap, checked if i had fuel pressure, and it still won’t start. it tries to start but it can’t hold on, do you guys have any clue what it could be?

In the future try to address issues like this sooner rather than later. Having a huge loss of power and issues starting is significant enough concern to stop driving a car until you've identified the issue, sounds like it may have been in limp mode. Hopefully you don't have any internal damage.

Are you getting any other ECU codes? Have you checked your oil?

You said you replaced the oxygen sensor, did that not clear the O2 code? You should be able to use a scanner and see what's coming up.
