Seems electrical power is lost, then regained. So it could be your main relay or else your ignition switch. Need more info, but this is a place to start. Sometimes, an intermittently defective (dying) coil will cut out, but regain operability. Good luck. Let us know what happens next.

 

this happened to me with my 97 lx 4cyl automatic lol i looked through everything in the car and it turned out that there was a hairline crack going through the distributor and when it would get cold out the motor would stall cause the crack would get bigger in the cold weather. o yea moisture was a bitch too.

My 98 prelude had ignition switch problem, that it was dieing, but didnt thought ill be on accord to aldo they are the same year, after i changed my ignition switch on prelude it was fine and didnt stall, some told me it could be a coil. does any one has a picture of where the coil located on v6 accord, i berly know anything about that car its my wifes car and i never touch it.

 

this same thing happened to my friends 98 accord lx. His engine shuts off and his steering wheel locks. I guess this is a common? I'm not sure, but willing to find out as well so you and my friend gets this fixed..

 

yep sounds like same thing, i dont let my wife drive her car anymore cuz of that, stering wheel locks

 

my 96 accord was great the first two years i had it, but then it started acting funny

sometimes when im at a stop light for a little while and then when i hit the gas to go, it starts to go but struggles for a second or two then runs fine until the next stop and it repeats, it happens about 1 out of every 10 stops . sometimes more. Any thoughts would be much appreciated.
Thank You
