Honda Car Forum

I have a 1999 Honda Accord, and for the past couple of days, I would be driving down the road, and the car would just completely shut off. The car would keep moving, the radio would still be playing, and the light that indicates that the key is still in the ignition would come on. Like I stated before, the car would still roll, until I pull over and put the car in park, then after a minute or two, the car would crank back up. What could be the problem? And also, would I be able to take it to one of those free car checks being that the car is computerized?

Don't know much about the computerized car-check in your area, but having had an older Honda Accord myself with the same problem, here's a possibility: carburetor float? If you're running an ethanol-mix gasoline thru it, that sometimes can cause float problems in Hondas [go figure, why?] I went to pure 87 octane all-gasoline fuel, replaced the float and got back in business. Something to check, anyway.
