1999 Accord dies unexpectedly and won't restart

Hi. This problem has actually been happening for over a year, but was so infrequent in the beginning and has become more serious. I never know when it will die, so I avoid freeway driving, since the car could die, it is like a deathtrap. It is due for a tune-up...does anyone know if the main relay, distributor, ignitor, fuel system etc is included in an 80,000 mile tune-up?
This is really a scary problem. We replaced the negative battery cable, since it was corroded and had become lose, but that hasn't made any difference. Any help as to where to start and how to troubleshoot would be very appreciated! Thanks.

I just found out this could be the result of a faulty ignition switch which has been recalled. I checked with Honda.com and my VIN# is included in the affected vehicles. I would advise other owners to look into it as well for this "stalling without warning" problem.

HI,
There are some very good mechanics all over America, not just higher priced Dealer Service Dept.
I would ask around in your local area, for a good, reputable mechanic, and have your car checked out.
Thanks for the information about the "stalling" recall. Maybe it can help others. Best of luck.

Thanks. I will report back with the results of the recalled ignition switch being changed out.
