Default my car keeps stalling on me and its automatic

Hello, I drive a 1994 Honda Civic Dx Coupe. Lately I have been having serious problems with my car, the car while in drive will die repeatedly, as if a stalling motion. so it kinda jolts forward followed by a release of pressure in accelleration. at first i thought it was the battery and or altenator. i ruled those out, and then i thought it was coil and starter, ruled those out, then i thought it was the sparkplug and exhaust. ruled those out as well. Now when i try driving the car it just dies and wont start up until i leave it for a few hours.

i heard suggestions that it could be my starter or spark plug cables. I really need help here cause im all out of ideas, if you think or know the problem or have any useful tips i would greatly appreciate it.

how much of the exhaust system did u replace? did u replace that catalitic converter? i problem very similar to this in my ford truck. it would drive it would hit running temp and shut off. let it sit till it was cooled down and it would fire right up. i got up under it when day cat was glowing red. put my hand at the back while it was running and barely any exhaust was coming through. fixed that and it fixed the problem
