Evertime I start my car I can only drive no more than 15 minutes and it will die. Then I will have to wait an hour before it will start again. I have no idea what's wrong. Helpppp

Acura integra 1991 1.8 4 cylinder automatic. Recently had a bunch of work done to it. New timing belt. Radiator, and hoses. Terms stat . O2 sensor. Brakes. Used distributor. Water pump. And it still will only go no longer than 3 miles than have to wait up to an hour before it will even start back up. I'm stumped.. Helppppp

Have you hooked it up to a tester and checked the computer and electronics.

This is a distributor related problem. Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil inside the distributor. Apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM. Ensure the distributor housing is a genuine Honda part--all others are problematic. Aftermarket distributor housings for Hondas have been plagued with major problems.
