I thought about the main Relay, but i didn't think it was very typical of the main relay to cause the car to die while driving. Do a search on the forum for "Main Relay" or "Main Fuel Relay."
Is it hot where you are? Does the problem seem to be worse when it is hot (or has been hot) inside the car?

That is the shift lock system.
The ignition switch controlis the interlock system. From your description of the car stalling while driving and now the interlock system, I would replace the electrical part of the ignition switch.

Have you tried the "key wiggle" test I suggested?
FYI: # 10 is the switch
hondaed posted the part # earlier

I agree with you ooaccord .... i have done dozens and dozens and dozens of main relays,, resolder and replace ,,and NOT ONCE ,, has the main relay killed the engine while driving ..common cause of a bad main relay is a failure to start the car when ambient temp is hot or very humid ..
Have you checked if the ign switch recall has been done ?? like it was adviced ???
after car dies ,, chk to see if engine is getting fuel.. if it is,,, most likely it is not the main relay
Also contrary to members advicing you to start replacing parts,, I would not start replacing part until you properly DIAGNOSE the problem....

ed, i tried the wiggle test but the car did not stall. i also tried putting the key to on (not start) and i didn't hear any noise in the back for fuel pump. i guess next step is main relay.
That wiggle-test is kinda one-sided.
If you can get it to stall by wiggling the key, then the electrical part of the ignition switch is the culprit.
But if it doesn't stall, that does NOT prove the switch is OK. It just means you haven't yet found the right position to get it to screw up.

I called Honda and I asked them about the ignition recall and unfortunately my vin# was not included to the recall.
yeah he checked with Honda.
I agree with you Desert. I would not recommend him replacing any parts just yet. He needs to do some more testing of the ignition components. I do not know how to test this, so I'll leave that up to someone that is smarter than me . Is there any way to test that without buying tools that may cost as much or more than buying the replacement part? That is usually where I draw the line. If I have a very good idea that I know what part is bad and the part is not expensive, sometimes I will replace. But that is only if I am DIYing as well.
But again, I DO NOT recommend throwing parts at it if I am not at least 80% sure I know what part is causing my problem (and the part is cheap and would likely eventually need replacement anyway.

Why wouldn't it be fix? it's running excellent without stalling. My main relay was bad and was cutting off lines to my fuel so therefore the car often stall and when the car stall you wouln't be able to take the transmission out of park. You could if the car did not stall.
