    Honda dies while driving
    My 1999 Honda Civic dies while driving. The radio and lights stay on, but the engine dies and I lose power steering and brakes. My local mechanic says he can only diagnose this problem while it's happening, but the car always starts up again in a few minutes. This could be life-threatening on the freeway. Any ideas?

    Thanks.

    It's absolutely life-threatening. I would replace the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil ASAP:

    This is a very common problem with Hondas of this generation.
