1993 Honda Civic Front Wheel Drive Manual

As of late, my engine has been stalling while driving. The battery isn't dead, the starter is fine, when it starts I can get around, the clutch has to be stepped on hard however. I'm not sure if it's electrical or something to do with the clutch. The gears engage fine and I don't have to give it gas to keep the engine going. It'll just die (usually when I am stopped or going slowly) and then it will take a few turns to get it started again. Please help. I love this car and need to get more miles from it.

I assume it cranks when it doesn't start?

If so, when it doesn't start the first step would be to check for fuel and spark. Having no spark is common on these cars. Usually a result from a bad ICM/coil.
