Car Keeps Dying! HELP!!!
I have a jdm b16 and this problem has been happening for the past month and half or so, but its been gradually getting worse.
Randomly while the car is fine and warmed up, it just dies on me while I'm rolling, and it never does it at a stop. When I try and start it back up, it cranks normally but then just dies back to 0. The only way for me to keep the car running is for me to hold the key down all the way to the end for about a minute or two, then it's fine. This problem happens every 20 minutes or so while driving.
In the past 2 weeks I've changed my spark plugs, cleaned my IACV, changed my oil, I even Seafoamed it, got my alternator and battery checked and they're both good, and I changed my battery terminals b/c I thought it could be a bad connection.
I have no idea what else it could be. Anyone have any other ideas or have this same problem? I need help ASAP!!

Re: (noz79)
thanks for the help bro! found out that my ignition switch was bad and there was actually a recall on it so I took it to Honda today and they're replacing it free of charge tomorrow! I suggest that anyone with a 97-99 civic take their car to Honda and get that **** replaced for free!!
