88 accord is tempermentle
 
I have a 88 accord that starts and runs but wont start if driven for a few miles. It also sputters around 3000 rpms. It has new pressure regulator, fuel filter, spark, pcv, and main relay. It has a funky gas smell. Also runs a little hot. Any suggestions would be more than appreciated. Thank you

if car overheats, it will die and might be hard at restart,, you should fix the issue before you ruin the engine ,, if the gas smells funky it also will cause runnubility issues..

empty the tank, fill it with clean gas and add some gas additive .. I am assuming car is LXI ..
