Well...finally got my power restored and my gas mileage back to normal on my 93 accord after cleaning out the EGR ports. I was heading to work this morning on the highway and my car shuts off going about 60. I was dreading the thought but the only thing I can come up with is my timing belt. Any thoughts on this one cause I really would hate to scrap my baby but I don't think putting in a used engine would be very practical when the car has over 307,000.

Any thoughts or suggestions :")?

If the timing belt broke, it would sound very different when cranking the starter.

Measure your compression - if the timing belt broke, your compression wouldn't be very good.

 

I don't know if this makes a difference or not..but my power steering shut off as well. I mean unlikely but alternator or fuel pump could be culprit?

 

There's no carburators in 1993, correct???

Power steering is on its own belt. Alternator & AC compressor share the other belt. Fuel pump isn't on any belt; it's electric inside the fuel tank.

Losing the alternator belt shouldn't stall the engine.

 

well...it started right back up after I was about to go have it towed last night. Drove it about 50 miles around doing errands and still no signs of anything. What would cause that?

 

Flaky ignition switch? Can you get it to stall by wiggling the key?

You could check whether the distributor has power during one of it's no-start episodes.
