    Have you had any recent work done on your Honda as in the fuel or exhaust systems? You may want to take it to a repair shop and have them put it on a computer to see if there's any error codes showing up. Good luck

    There are several possibilities:

    . Check the charging system:

    It's entirely possible the alternator brushes have worn so much that they are "bouncing," causing intermittent voltage.

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

    ICM and coil failure are two of the most common problems on Hondas of this generation. Intermittently, the engine will run and then die. I recommend replacing these problematic components every 120,000 miles or 10 years, whichever comes first. If the battery checks out fine, this is likely the solution to your problem.

    . Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting:
