Default car starts but then dies right away...help!

jdm h22 in 92 cx.

for the past couple of the weeks the car has been bogging/hesitating over 25 percent throttle. we thought it might have something to do with the dizzy, so we put on a new cap on...same problem. Today, the car was bogging really bad when we just moved it out of the driveway. We thought it might be the spark plugs so we decided to go ahead and change them. NOW, with the new spark plugs, the car will start for a split second, then it gradually chokes out and dies. i was thinking maybe the ignitor is bad...need help...thanks guys...
