I've been having some problems with my 95' Accord lately. It started one day while I was driving the car just stopped for no reason while I was on the highway. Tried starting the car again, but it wouldnt start until I let it cool down for a while. I drove it back home fine. Then the temperature started to go up rapidly when the car was idle, I found out that there was no coolant in there. So I put some water in there, drove on the highway again, no problems except I did notice my speedometer and tachometer going crazy going to zero and back while I was driving. I got back home checked the water it was empty again, and the car wouldn't start even after I let it cool down for the next day and filled it back up with water. I believe it is an ignition problem because the car starts and stays on when the key is on the III position, but as soon as I let go and it goes back to the II position it stops. I'm not sure if the two issues are related, but I would appreciate any help I can get fixing this issue because I've read that many people had the same issue but I couldn't find a fix.

 

Electrical part of the key switch sounds bad. Turn the key to on or pos II, check for voltage at the BLK/YEL wire on the dist.
Then, please find the source of the coolant leak ASAP.
