    Why won't my car stay running?
    My 1998 Honda Accord will not stay running? :confused: I took my daughter to school this morning and everything was fine; it started and ran normal. Then an hour later I went to take my son to school and my car started and then died, then started it again and it died again. Once I take my foot off the gas pedal it dies. If I rev the engine as like in warming it up in the morning? Everything is fine...

    Please give suggestions as to what you think would be causing this.
    Thank you :D

    . Replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil:

    These are very problematic components on Hondas. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer grease to the back of the new ICM. Over time, heat destroys ICMs and coils.

    . Ensure spark plugs (NGK only) have been changed in the past several years.

    ICM:

    Coil:

    You should be able to do the labor yourself.
