Can anyone advise on the situation:
I have a 94 honda accord and recently it started shuttin off while on the highway. I mean i was doing speeds of 75-90 and in the fast lane at that. The engine just shuts off and after I pull over it cranks right back and start to roll again. I have had the main relay replace and the o2 sensors; this problem is still occuring. Anyone with experience on this situation.

 

check and change your filters,

change the fuel, and air filter and the pcv valve.

 

check your ignition switch, it may be worn........

 

I'd vote for fuel too...
filter something like that ...

 

When the engine shuts off do you have the Oil and Batt light on?
If not I would suspect the electrical part of the ignition switch.
Also the Tach will just drop to Zero.
By any chance, do you have a big long or heavy keychain that swings around as you drive?

 

the only light that comes on is my check engine light and then the whole car shuts off. then the oil and battery light comes on.

 

the same thing happened to me, the engine light showed code 15 ignition signal output and i had to replace my entire distributor box

 

distributor box? what do you mean by the whole box thing

 

Follow your sprk plug cables to the round distributor, which can be pulled out from the engine as a unit, dude, after loosening some nuts.

Make sure to note the exact position of it in regard to the engine, so you can replace it the same way. This is also true for the rotor -- mark its direction before you pull the unit out.

Don't forget to replace the rubber o-ring on the shaft, otherwise you will have an oil leak.

Those babies are not cheap. A quick solution may be to pull one out at a salvage yard -- a proper match, natch. Unless you are loaded....

Ignition switch.

 

check if u have battery kill switch or anything like that

 

i have the same problem right now. one guy says i should change the fuel filter first then if it keeps happening then i should change the gas pump. one guy says just change the gas pump. wat should i do?

 

i would say to check your ignition switch.

 

One more vote for ignition switch. Here's a link to troubleshoot it. Good luck

I had the ignitor changed it is located in the distributor. It seems to be driving fine thus far.
