Default help car will not stay running!!!

Hey everybody. I am a mechenic at a little shop called import autosport and we have a 1997 honda accord sedan EX. We have tried everything and cannot get this car working. The car will start up and run for about 15 min if we leave it sitting for a few days but after that is just stutters and has a really bad smell come from the exhaust. we have tried everything. New EGR, new distributor and new coil and ignitor in the new dist., we have even tried putting a new ECM. but nothing!!!!! The OBD2 reader gave the P0108 code which in sure you means there is something wrong with the MAP sensor but i cleared the code put a new MAP sensor in and it ran!!!! for 15 min and now it wont hardly start even with the pedal to the floor the car will stutter and die!!!!
Any input would be much appreciated!!!

Pull a spark plug wire and atatch a spark plug. Try to start.

If the spark is bright and blue/white, then I would suspect a fuel problem.

Has the car thrown the MAP sensor code again?
Can you test fuel pressure?
Maybe stick a test light into the Black/yellow wire of the coil/dist to be sure the ignition switch is putting thru power
