i just bought this car and now everytime i stop at a stop light or any thing it idles rough and sometimes dies so i have to keep pushing the gas down to keep the rpms up. then sometimes i am driving down the road and it just dies. the real kicker is that to start it back up i have to wait about two minutes and then it fires up after a couple tries but right after it dies there is no chance of starting it back up. i have already had a new timing belt, fuel filter, plugs and wires. i just need to know what i have to do to get this car reliable.. please dont reply with get a new car or something, i like this car adn its my choice so if you can help then please do.. im thinking it might be ignition switch fuel pump or fuel injectors? but i really dont know.. pleaseeee help!!
 
it sounds like a vacuum leak. check all the hoses for any kind of cracks. check your PVC valve and take out your fuel injectors and clean them if they are too dirty you may need to replace them. my cousin had a similar problem with his 87 crx. his was fixed by changing the PVC valve and a few hoses
