Default my 97 prelude randomly cuts out while driving?????????

sometimes it will go days without doing it, sometimes it will do it 5 times a day, i will just be driving and the car will shut off. When i try to restart it, it will turn on and shut back off immediately and the only way to get it started is to mash the gas pedal at just the right time as try to restart it. Honda says it is the anti theft system and its $1,200, i was thinking more like injectors or fuel pump or fuel pump relay or something. Anyone have any ideas???????????

Sounds like the ignition switch. It was recalled.

Hate to make a repeat post, but third time's a charm...it's the ignition switch.
