My 98 honda accord just lost Acceleration doing 65mph. I had my cruise control set and all of a sudden I feel it go off and my gas gage starts going down, I pulled over and put it in park as soon as I did that my engine shut off, all my dash lights were still on so was my radio. I tried to restart my car and it wants to start but it won't.. I called my local honda dealership and all my recalls were up to date.
We have already replaced the distributor cap and replaced the ignition switch again but took it back because it still wouldn't start.
I really need help I have a 2 yr old and a baby on the way and that was my transportation. .

It can be anything until someone puts a code scanner on the car to see what the computer says is a problem.

. Check for a broken timing belt. Remove oil cap, have someone crank the engine, and verify that the camshaft rotates. If it doesn't, the timing belt likely snapped.

. Verify that you can hear the fuel pump run, when you turn the ignition switch to ON (Position II).

. Check for codes.

. Check the alternator--when they fail, the dashboard often lights up like a Christmas tree.

. If the problem persists, verify that the Check Engine Light comes on for 2 seconds and then goes out, when the ignition switch is turned to ON (Position II). If it does, focus on the distributor. Normally, replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) and coil solves the problem. Be sure to apply silicone heat transfer compound to the back of the new ICM; otherwise, it won't last long. Remove the coil first, since it improves access to the ICM. My bet is that the ICM and/or coil failed. This is the time to also replace the rotor.

Stay away from aftermarket distributors--they are totally unreliable. Only install a genuine Honda distributor housing, along with an aftermarket ICM and coil to keep the cost down, if you go that route. It may even be that you already have an aftermarket distributor on your Honda and it has failed.
