1994 Honda Accord 5 speed turns and but shuts off soon after.?

my '94 Accord will turn on after i turn the ignition over so many times. it just clicks when i turn the key, eventually turning on. when its on, the rpm's will go so high, but will slowly drop until the car just shuts off altogether. and while its on, it will make a sort of broken putter.

i have had the battery charged twice in 3 weeks, and so im leaning toward the possibility of the alternator being the problem. if that is the case, how much would it be to have the alternator changed in a shop?

however, friends have suggested it either being the starter or a fuel pump.

does anyone have any ideas?

thank you very much.1994 Honda Accord 5 speed turns and but shuts off soon after.?
put a fuel pressure guage on the line and check the psi, also make sure ur gettign spark by grounding a spark plug to a ground on the car using a screw driver. I suggest you take it to a mechanic for them to look at it hands on,1994 Honda Accord 5 speed turns and but shuts off soon after.?
