If it just stops running I would think its something electrical. It could be anything from a bad ground to the fuel pump, or fule pump relays, ignition, ignition switch, bad connections or a list off things.

I don't think its your filter simply because a clogged filter will ussually have the car become sluggish, "stutter", or be hard to start. It won't hurt to change it though.

Good luck.

When my car did that it was the coil/dist cap.

I would tend to agree with the rest on ignition system. How many miles roughly are on the dist you are running now because I have heard from honda dealers that the ignitor usally goes bad around 100k also check the coil BTW are you throwing any codes after the car dies. If you are unsure check after the problem occurs.
