I pulled over then it bogged down (it only died twice) started back up but it will sit there like its struggling for gas kinda like if u let off the clutch and it shakes searching for gas but i let it sit there (after getting harrassed by the cops i guess for being broke down) then it acted normal and i drove it home like 10 miles from were i was to home ...these are what people told me it is (but i need ur opinions from Accord fans like myself i finally could get one and wanna keep it and fix it up

You should diagnose the problem before changing out parts.
Lets start with the simple stuff first.
Does the check engine light turn on while driving? Does the D4 light start flashing? (you didn't say if you have an automatic or manual transmission).
On the top of the gen tech help forum, there is a Common DIY Index. Look at the procedure for checking engine codes.
The next thing I would do is a tuneup if you are overdue. That would include spark plugs, distributor cap, and distributor rotor. The plugs you should use are NGK ZFR5F-11 that you can get at most parts stores for ~$2 each. The cap and rotor will be around $35 from the dealership. Check the air filter too.
You can also spray a light mist of water on the plug wires to see if you see spark arching. You can probably use windex to do this too. Do this at night, because it will be easier to see.

It won't hurt to check those codes. Plus you will know how to do that in the future.
I would do the tuneup and inspections I put in my first post. Worn out maintenance items can make diagnosing the problem more difficult.
Can you get the car to stall out by shaking the key while the engine is running?
