Default 97 Civic shut off randomly while driving

My 97 Cvic DX shuts off while I'm driving.

No CEL
Does it while coasting not accelerating
Runs great otherwise
Starts right up/no delay
Not a violent cut off. Half the time I don't even notice until I go to press the gas again.

Does it about once every like 50 miles.
Any clue why?

check/clean all grounds. This is one of those things that's going to be nigh impossible to diagnose properly. jump your sc connector by the ecu, see if any codes are stored. Just because the check engine light isn't on doesn't mean there aren't any codes. gl

Ignitor?

The ignition switch is probably going. It will happen more when it's warmer outside or if the vehicle has been running for a while.

That's exactly right. I deliver for a living and it stops doing it after it gets dark. I just noticed that tonight.
