HELP! 97 CIVIC THAT SHUT OFF RANDOMLY AND WONT START BUT HAVE POWER!!
Help!
i have a 97 civic that shut off on me randomly, but still had power, so my radio was still working. just recently changed the distributor and did a timing belt change and spark plug change too. i have problems with speed sensor sometimes but havent changed it yet. battery still good and alternator still good. ignition where u put the key to turn has been jamming lately and i have to jiggle it to get it to turn to start car but started fine this morning but did idle like it wanted to cut off a little when was at a red light then died soon after...any idea what this can be? i was searching and say someone mention ignition or main relay?

Took it to the mechanics and it was the ignition. He said if it shut off again could be faulty distributor again...thanks guys for the help! Love this forum!
