Default what cause a car to shut on and off than won't start again

my homie has a '89 crx hf for sale and he has a problem with the car, sometimes it runs well than next time around it doesn't want to start anymore but it does crank over.

i have tried new spark plugs, cap n rotor, carb/intake cleaner, just the minor stuff another thing i noticed about the car is its an HF but it has a D15b2 in it and i've been wondering if its the stock or swap.
