At first it happened once every couple weeks then gradually more often, twice in one day and then I replaced the electrical portion of the switch. Located on the left side of the steering column, opposite the keyed portion.

My 2.3 vtec is great. Im pushing close to 240,000 miles. Being in South Florida, the cold is not an issue.
But recently, while driving at any speeds, the car has completely shut down. I would then coast to a stop and pull over. I turn the key completely off, say "WTF", and in no time, try to restart it. It starts, no problem, every time. I go on my way.
One code on the diag., is the EGR valve should be replaced, but the mechanic didn't think this valve would cause the vehicle to stall. The car even stalled once in idle.
Thankfully every time this has happened, I was able to coast off the road.
Whatever I need to do to fix it, but I wanted your opinions first to see if there has been any other experiences with this issue. Thanks for the replys and advice
