Default 1993 Accord stalling issues

I own a 1993 Honda Accord EX with 5 speed manual with about 108000 miles on it.

The car stalled out at a speed of 50 miles and could not be pop-started. The car would not restart and my father towed it home, fortunately I was only about 1/2 a mile away.

A few hours later the car started but stalled out after less than 1 minute of running.

This morning the started and idled for over 10 minutes however I did not drive it due to a midwest snowstorm; I did not want to risk getting stuck in the snow.

Is it my fuel pump? Is there an easy way to test this or is it an ignition component?

The only other clue to what could be wrong is in the last 2 days about 4 times the car jerked when decelerating at various speeds; instead of a smooth deceleration the car jerked hard but only once each time.

Thanks for any help

This is going to be a "catch it in the act" diagnose. When the car won't start, use a test light to check for battery voltage at the Black/yellow wire of the coil [key on]to be sure the ignition switch is good.
Next would be to barely crack open the fitting at the fuel rail to check for fuel pressure.
Thenyou need to check for spark to the plugs while cranking the engine over, having a spare plug to stick in the end of the plug wire would be handy.
