Default My engine just died!! Help

I own a 1992 Accord with about 144000 miles on it. I have owned this car for about 12 years and have maintained it as best I could. I did have the timing belt changed at 95000 miles.

I was driving home form work on the freeway going about 65 MPH and the engine just died. It didn't sputter or make any funny noise. It just stopped. I coasted off to the side of the road and tried to start it. It will turn over but just won't start. Had to call a tow truck and take it home. It's now sitting in my garage.

Anyone have any suggestionson where start, what to do, what to check?

Well, just to let anyone that reads this post know. I had my car towed to the Honda Dealership and they repaired it. What went bad was the Igniter. The repair cost me $265.22. They replaced the Igniter and the Rotor Head.

06302-PT2-000 Igniter Kit $109.55
30103-PT2-016 Head, Rotor$9.48
Labor $130.00
Tax $16.19

Probably took them 1/2 hour to Diagnose and Repair.

Sorry that nobody responded to your question when you posted it, that surprised me.

As far as the repair, glad you go it fixed. Too bad they charged you so much on the labor.
