Car stalls when pressing gas?

Just wondernig if anyone can help?
I have a 1997 Acura EL 1.6. My car stalled last night while driving, I heard a noise then car stalled. I tried to turn it on and the engines turns but the car is weak and turns off when you press on the gas pedal. Its an manual so it does the same when you try to put on gear and drive.

The weird part is when you turn the car on and press pedal half way to the end engine revs up slowly to 5000 rpm and higher. I also can turn car on and let go of gas and car is running but abit weak.

Is electrical?

thanks

Try to get it scanned for codes (Auto zone will do it for free) and post up the specific code(s).

islametco,
Did you ever resolve it? I'm having the same symptoms on my 95 Civic EX.
