Default 1985 crx si stalling on the highway

I've replaced eim electronic ignition module, pgi relay, coil wire and can't find a solution to my car's constant dying, for no obvious rreason. Any help will do. 1985 models are hard to find any help. Please don't direct me to another thread, as I've looked and my problem can't be fixed with the suggestions I've seen. Haven't seen 'em all, though, but hey....

have you look into your fuel pump, and what did you do before the stalling

When it stalls, if it is safe to do so don't try to restart right away, don't touch the key at all. Observe if the oil and battery lights come on-- as they should any time the key is on with the engine not turning. If they don't come on you may have a bad ignition switch (confirm this by seeing if you can get the oil and battery lights to come on by working the key back and forth without going all the way to crank) or other problem with the car wiring. Also you could open the hood and check for power at the coil with a voltmeter.
