Default Car has trouble starting sometimes.

Ok, now this problem just started about 2 weeks ago, and has only occured twice.

When I go to start the car, it tries to start, stumbles for a few seconds, then stalls. The first time it only did this once then fired up fine. The second time just happened to me this morning, I was driving for about 30 mins or so, then stopped at the store, came back out and the car wouldnt start. Same problem as before, starts, stumbles, dies. This time it stalled about 4-5 times before it would start.

Now what do you guys think this could be? Fuel filter, plugs, wires, cap/rotor? Any help would be appreciated. TIA, Tyson.

PS, The car is an 89 crx si, with a '99 y8 swap. The swap has been in there for a year.

I would pull out a few spark plugs and check those out first. they are cheap and easy to replace. Second it might be a main relay problem. My car had starting issues for a while. It would just keep turning over and never fire i changed the main relay (located behind the coin box on the dash) and i havent had the same problem again.

Ok, thanks for the reply. The car turns over, but instead of running normally, it stumbles a bit, then stalls. It seems almost like a fuel problem but im not sure.
