Check all your ground connections for tightness and clean any corrosion. Check the ground on the thermostat housing, which should be on the bottom of the thermostat. Make sure that's snug also, it could solve the warming-up-then-dying problem. On Honda's the ignitier or coil goes out pretty easily so have the checked out also.
