I have a 92 honda civic with 150,000 mile on it. It just recently started to die when I drive it for like 10-20 min. Then it won't start until it cools down for like 45 min to an hour then it will run for 10 min then die again. I thought it was my fuel pump but I changed that and it still does the same thing. Please help me!

Your car's main relay may be failing, due to cold solder joints. It's a common problem that develops on Hondas during the summer heat. You can try replacing it. It's located left of fuse box, wedged against left kick panel and above hood latch. Remove fuse box cover and lower dash panel for access.

If the problem persists, replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:

These efforts should solve your problem. I recommend replacing all of these items every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first.
