Need more details, but more than likely its a main relay

Could also be the ignition coil in the distributor... same thing happened to my old CRX and people were telling me it was the main relay, but it turned out it was the ign. coil (pretty sure that's the name) in the distributor. It's like a $75 part if that's what it is.
