My 1990 Accord will die in traffic but if I wait a few minutes, it will start right back up again. Any ideas? Two different mechanics have found nothing wrong with it.

 

Have to figure things out when they are working...so don't blame them.

Any stored codes?

"Sounds like" a bad ICM, coil or key switch (elec part). Testing will be the key. Do you own a volt meter and or timing light?

 

If you're still driving the car, take note next time the engine stalls.

1) Does the Check Engine Light come on when engine stops? It should. If not, the keyswitch assy is likely the fault.

2) When engine stops, turn keyswitch to On and listen carefully. You should hear a couple of soft clicks from under the dash, fuel pump in tank should buzz for 2-3 secs and cut off, and Check Engine Light should go off at same time fuel pump stops buzzing. If you don't hear these sounds, the Main Fuel Relay may be the problem. Most folks can hear these noises w/ careful attention.

good luck
