Default Occasional Power Loss

This has happened to me 4 times in the past month.

I will be driving along, usually just crusing and the power will die, no noises or anything. I put it into neutreal, put the key back to first position then start it again while still rolling. So far it has only happened at 70-80km/h and it hasnt been very dangerous, but i need to get to the bottom of it.

Im driving a 97 prelude SH with 150k kilometeres on it.

Thats what i thought, i just cleaned the terminals and battery.
Even if the battery temporarily times out, wouldent the alternator keep the car running?
Im getting total power loss, but it will start up while rolling again smooth and fine..

ignition switch recall maybe? Check to see if it has been done on your car

Go to the dealer with your VIN and they should be able to tell you.
