I did a minor tune up on this car like changing the spark plugs, the o rings on the gasket, the distributor rotor, new fuses but the car still shuts off while I'm driving. I have to wait 20 minutes before it starts up again and I'm clueless on what to do? HELP!

Possible electrical connection, ignition coil, ignition control module ( igniter ), ignition switch, PGM-FI main relay.

Does the engine crank during the no-start or does nothing happen at all? Does the check engine light come on and go out when turning the key to the ON position? If/when the check engine light goes out during the no-start condition, can you hear a moderately loud 'click' from behind the drivers dash? When the no-start occurs is there spark at the spark plugs?

Thanks for getting back to me, i changed the ignition coil as well but not the other things. The check engine light comes on and goes out when I turn the key to the on position, and it cranks but doesn't turn over unless I let it cool off for a while. Could it be a a filter problem because I do not have an air intake system. No moderately loud clicks though.

try fuel filter

Isn't "cranks" meaning that it "turns over"? Cranks = turning over, right? Check your distributor cap and rotary button. In my experiences of these symptoms, I'd say 90% of the time for me, it's been the rotor/rotary button.

Noticed you replaced the rotor button, coil wire?

Are you getting spark at the plugs when this is happening? I suggest starting there, then testing the OCM....almost classic ICM (igniter) symtoms..IMO

probably a main relay, if it is I have one for sale that I bought for my old accord which had that issue you are describing but after I bought a new one never did it stall until her death to the crusher .

these videos are sugestions, so take out the relay and inspect it won't hurt or cost you anything.
