Honda Car Forum

Recently on more than one occasion, my Honda Accord Engine has cut off
in the middle of driving. When I pull off to the side of the road my
engine light is on. Then after I turn off the car and wait a few
minutes the car starts up fine and runs like nothing has gone wrong.
Could this possible be an electrical problem? I think my main relays
maybe be going bad but could it cause my car to cut off like it has.
If someone could give me some help figure out this problem it would be
appericated.

Thanks

Honda recalled about a billion ignition switches. Yours is too old to
qualify for a freebee, I think, but it sounds like the exact symptoms.
Here's a page full of recalls for Accords:

Igniter is most likely culprit.

Does your tach needle suddenly fall to zero just before the car stalls?

I missed your post when I replied. Yes it could be the ignition switch as
well, but I'm leaning towards the igniter.
