Honda Car Forum

So, I have a '98 Honda Accord LX 4 cyl. VTEC 2Dr. Coupe. The engine will die at random times; while idleing, slowing down, cruising, and once or twice while accelerating a little, but never when heavily accelerating. I have had the security system checked, electrical system checked, terminals directly on the battery checked, and one replaced, new fuel pump installed, fuel injection system was cleaned out, new air filter (needed it anyway), alternator has been checked repeatedly and is fine, rotary cap was checked and is fine, sparkplugs were inspected and are fine, ignition system was checked, part that key goes into was replaced, battery was replaced.The way the car dies is that it just seems to loose power. RPMs start to drop, then it just dies, and if the key is still in, it keeps the ignition on for a bit, then everything completely dies.Only thing that can be thought of right now is that the computer(s) are bad.Thanks in advance.

I think the ignition switch is bad

possibly the throttle position sensor

with out seeing the car and having it in my stall anything is a guess... and if this car came into my stall at work i would suggest a ignitor and a new coil... i know you said you had it checked out, but it is a common problem with the engine you havegood luckand i hope i've helped

I think ur problem is there in the throtle body system,have the MAP sensor/throtle positioning sensor(TPS) checked.......

My integra was doing that I took it to the dealer they said the ignition switch was bad...
