During the day my car (1998 Honda Accord) runs fine, then after driving all day it shuts down when I try to start my car.. When I tried to start my car in the afternoon, my engine rumbles and the shuts off. After the fifth or sixth try, the engine rumbles really hard, but eventually quiets and I'm able to drive the car. This has been going on for the last two days. What gives?
Rumbles?, did the RPM drop below 800 RPM? that is called idle failure
and when it does, idle can go to 400 rpm and will shake hard.
and is normal for illegal idle speeds. so post that first.
post that engine stalls
and that the RPM is 400-500 just before the stall.
then post if the fast right foot can save the stall (a key test !!!!)
if easy the ISC is sticking.
if tad hard the EGR is stuck open'
if impossible to save. then more possible (many)
ever do the 60k mile tune up this decade????,. if not why not./ now.

It sounds as if your battery is flat. If its not. remove the black fascia around the gear box, it would reveal a slot at under the fascia in front. Put your key in it and the gear lever would move. If it doesnt then you have a major issue on hand

i think there was a re call for this car & there was a problem with ignition switch. i was searching on other forums for the fix. i got a fix that there is a problem with ignition switch. so just try & replace ignition switch which would not cost u more than $100. Try it & post if your problem is fixed. Also if u have any othr solution then also fix this problem.

Start looking at temperature sensors and maybe even the thermostat.
