    87 accord dies when driven

    It dies randomly. Sometimes I can jump it and I can make it home though. The other day at work it wouldn't start at all and I pulled the alternator fuse and starter fuse and it started and made it home. The alternator is new, its been tested... Its good. The battery is also new. Grounds are all good. The fuel injector light also comes on sometimes but typically turns off. You can hear the fuel injection. Kinda stumped on where to look next and this is the daily driver.
