Default car stalls, then starts an hr later?

Increasingly frequently during the past 3 months my car just turns itself off as I'm driving. Battery is fine, as all lights and radio works, and the car will turn over but no sparks are generated. The car won't then start for about 45mins to an hour. I've heard that this could be the ignitor for the distributor. What do you think? Or could it be the coil, or could it be something electrical, or could it be the fuel pump? Any and all ideas welcome! By the way my accord has almost 300,00 clicks on it... not sure if that matters. And yes, it could be time for a new car!

thnx

But I thought the main symptom of a bad relay was that the car wont start shortly after you shut it off. Mine dies as it's running though.
