Default car dies when it gets hot

ok i got a 92 integra ls with about 150k miles on it. it starts up fine then it dies after about a mile or two drivin it. i waited about an hour or two and went back out there and the car started right up acted like it had no problem. last night i took it towed it to my buddies house about 10 miles away with a tow strap with the car started and it did not die. it is an automatic. it usually dies after i let off the throttle. any help?

Assuming it's not an ignition key cylinder problem, try replacing the ignitor, (in the distributor).

Ignitor is a very common problem on any HA or AC. Replacing it should take care of the problem good luck.
