Civic turns off while driving, Y?

I just bought an EJ coupe 2weeks ago and today when I was going to work it turned off on me. I turned it back on and it ran for a little bit then slowed down and turned off. Does anyone know what's wrong with it?

I'm thinking something in the fuel system. Bad fuel pump? Ancient filter?

but if it was the injectors, would it start? B/c it starts all the time just when I drive it, it slows down and then turns off..

Clutch out

Gas in

It's a win-win combo.

. if it was a fuel pump it would start at the most but will bog down/ turn off if the pump was going bad as soon as u give it gas . get a fuelpump/fuel injector kit to check pressure . jsut did mines this weekend on my silverado. should have around 30-40 psi if im not mistken. if it doesnt have that then u have a bad pump. i sell u my kit i just bought if u need one . 25 dollars and its yous.used for only five min.
