    Honda cuts off
    1998 Honda Civic every now and then I'm going down the road and it just cuts off. After a while it starts back up like nothings wrong with it. I have replace the ignition coil inside the distrutor but it continues to act crazy. Sometimes when sitting at idle it cuts off also but no other problems. It seems to be a perfect car besides that one flaw. What do you think?

    Replacing the Ignition Control Module (ICM) should solve the problem:

    Inside the distributor. It has four male connectors--you can't miss it.
