Car cuts off while driving
Can anyone give me an idea of what to look for on a 99 Honda Accord Dx stick, while I am driving it just shuts off with out any signs the car has been sitting up for some time using for a work. You help would be appreciated.

sounds like ignition switch. you can easily clean it or just replace. only about $50 or so. common issue.

I would suggest checking the ignition switch as well first.
If you have lots of keys/charms/junk on your key ring it can wear out the switch prematurely. And some of the 98-02 cars had crap switches.
With the engine running, jiggle the key in the ignition switch. Don't rotate it, just move it up/down, fore/aft. If the engine stumbles/cuts out, that is most likely your problem.
Rockauto.com has them for ~$40 + shipping, look for the 5% off discount code, usually covers the shipping.
