I've got a 93 prelude SI (H23) Auto 194K
(timing belt/water pump replaced @ 160K)

One day i was driving it about 70mph and it just turned off. no warning to studder.

After a few tries it restarted, ran and sounded fine. Drove 1/4 mile same thing. After a few more tries it restarted, ran and sound fine. Drove 1/4 mile, OFF again.

This time it took alot longer to start finally got it started ran for a few seconds backfired and turn off.

Tried to restart it, no start. (the engine turned like the timing belt was broken, faster than normal)

8 hours later we pick it up, started drove in onto the trailer and it shut off.

NOW, three day prior to this i had someone replace the thermostat. Don't know if it has any coincident or not.

thank you for any help

The electrical portion on the back of your ignition switch is most likely worn out. You can confirm this by wiggling the key with it running and checking guage cluster for flutter...also with the key on when it dies does the guage cluster go dead? Simple repair, should run $150 to $175
