Default 1991 Accord wagon: Intermittent stalling issues

My wife's 91 Accord is having issues. It randomly stalls while driving, which is obviously not desirable. If it sits for a minute, it starts right back up and drives on like nothing is wrong. It's very intermittent, as in it has only done it 3 or 4 times over the past 2 months.

Previous to this issue, it had completely died and wouldn't start at all. I replaced the main relay, which seemed to fix it since it started right back up. I also replaced the cap/rotor/plugs/wires for good measure while I was working on it (they were about due anyway).

So fast forward to now, like I said, it's still randomly stalling while driving, but always starts back up after a couple minutes. Any ideas for what else I should be looking for? Thanks for any help

hmm my guess would have been the main relay as well. hows your ignition coil looking. you have done distributor work so its possible timing or something else got knocked off. check your ignitor. check for free play on your spade connectors. whatever it is, it sounds like its electrical. you can also try out http://www.accordwagonclub.com...de07d. in the past i have found it helpful.
