Default Starts Perfect, runs perfect then dies 10 mins later

All,

I have seen a lot of topics on this already and I have already replaced my Main Relay/Main Fuel Relay. I'm still having the same issues with my car dying. Symptoms are as follows:

Car starts up on the first try, no excessive turns or starting issues. Car runs perfectly as I drive around town from the train station to work (about 5-7 minutes). Any trips longer than this, it acts like it is getting no gas and dies almost immediately. If I let it sit for a few minutes it'll start back up and run no problem again for another 10-15 minutes.

I'm thinking that since it seems to fit what I have been reading from most people about the Main Relay but I have already replaced it and so I'm thinking that it might end up being the ignition switch cable that it's connected to? Seems like these problems are common among accords of this year and it just started happening within the past month or so.

Honestly, my car runs like a dream otherwise, it runs perfectly but just doesn't run for more than 10-15 minutes without it suddenly dying. Its been a champ of a car and has over 250K miles on it.

Please help!

Electrical part of the ignition switch is very probable.

Are there any check engine lights?

Super curious did you get it fixed? Having the exact same issue on my 2001 Accord V6. I've thrown many parts at it and I'm still stuck. Thanks in advance.
