2000 Civic EX TONS OF PROBLEMS!

Problem #1:
Radiator busted. Replaced radiator.

Problem #2:
Still overheating. Replaced thermostat.

*Cooling system problems fixed-no longer having issues with Problems 1, 2*

Problem #3:
Car stalling out periodically. Usually driving the car while it stalls. It's stalled driving forward, in reverse, turning left, etc.
The car was behaving like a manual transmission, stalling in idle as if I didn't hold a clutch down to switch gears. Usually pulling off from a stop, I can feel the car starting to struggle, if I press the accelerator, the car stalls out completely. I am able to restart it, no problem.
At least I got the car back home.
-Replaced fuel filter.
-Used a bottle of fuel treatment to evaporate any possible water in the fuel
-Still stalling.

Problem #4:
Now the car won't even start. The engine is turning over, it just won't start. The car has a brand new battery, everything inside the car turns on-lights, radio, etc.

I'm at a loss.
Any feedback is greatly appreciated!!!

Are there any codes? Have you checked your fuel injectors and fuel pump(testing)?

Loose plugs or wires. Check them.

We replaced a rotor button and everything is working wonderfully!
Thanks for the input.

I can't take any credit, my boyfriend just decided it was worth replacing because he had a similar problem with one of his old trucks.
