I have a 2000 Honda Accord Coupe 4 cylinder with 85,000 miles. It has stalled while stopping in the past a few time with easy start up. Stalled once in a parking lot and would not start for 20 minutes. Replaced the Main Relay. Seemed to be fine after that.
But today it stalled while driving at speed twice. The dash lights did not come on as I coasted. I noticed on the web this is due to the ignition switch? my VIN on owners link says its not recalled. Any other ideas what it could be? If you think its the switch how do I get them to Fix it under recall?
Thanks,
Dave

 

Test it to be sure but I'm 90% sure (based upon the description) this is the switch.

Simple test, when it does this, see if you have 12v on the BLK/YEL wire going to the dist.

 

Thanks for the reply.
Its an intermittent problem, but will check next time it occurs.
Does anyone know the part number #s I need to fix this??

Let's wait to see what the issue is first. If it is the electrical part of the switch, there are a few options (dealer, aftermarket).

 

I tested the continuity of the switch and it failed.
What options do I have ? Are the aftermarket switches better or as good as the oem?

 

Kind of a debate, not wanting to start one.

Personally, I'd go aftermarket but that is JUST my opinion. Others will have theirs.
