92 civic stalls while driving,wont star sometimes

I have a 92 automatic civic dx coupe which hasnt really given me problems until recently. The problem started when while driving it would turn off and wouldnt start until several minutes of cranking. Also the car doesnt start on random occasions.
So i decided to change the fuel filter,spark pluggs, and i finally bought a new fuel pump, and everything seemed fine until it stalled once again while at a red light.
Ive noticed that the stalling usually happens at low speeds.

But ive been thinking it might be the electrical wires for the fuel pump because when it doesnt start i cant hear the fuel pump starting.

Im REALLY frustrated because ive wasted a lot of money for the fuel pump, which i thought was the problem

please help

Perform tests, outlined in Sections A and B below:

Perform the K-Test on the ECM. ECMs are failing regularly on these older Hondas. Also, because of the age of your Civic, I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM), coil, and main relay. The main relay is located left of the fuse box, wedged against the left kick panel and above the hood latch. Remove fuse box cover and lower dash panel for access. Here's how to replace the ICM and coil:

These are the most problematic electrical components on Civics and should restore reliability and performance to your car.

It ended up being the main relay!
