Default 1998 Accord EX randomly shuts off with trouble restarting

Today a friends 1998 accord EX randomly shut off at low speed (5-10MPH) and it had a hard time turning back over (6+ cranks). My gut says alternator or fuel pump but wanted some more input. Thanks in advance.

Has your friend ever had the ignition switch replaced by Honda? See this TSB: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/tsb/accord/x02-031e.pdf

When the alternator is starting to go, you may see the battery light on the dash come on at times. Some place will test the alternator for free.
