My father is having the same kind of problem with his '99 Accord. When you turn the key sometimes you will not get the ignition lights, an extra quarter turn will. Then while you are driving the car will stall and and it will be difficult to get the ignition lights again. It has been suggested that it requires a new ignition barrel and key but then this requires the car brain as well, I have been quoted £277 + VAT from Honda. I am searching online for a cheaper alternative, will let you know if I get anything. I will also check that recall on 1999 Honda.
I am having this same problem. When it idles it will die it seems like the rpms drop and ignition stops. also i am having a problem with it starting you have to turn the key multiple times and some times nothing happens and others it will just about start and others it will start . Could these be related?
Ignition....check recall on 1999 honda for ignition problem..
car will just stop...will restart....not battery....ignition for certain
dealer will honor warranty...
Does it restart easily?
Check the battery lead to the car body the black one ensure it is tight and has a good connection. ensure the battery leads are both tight and make sure neither are touching the bonnet.
Can you give me some more details like how it happened, what the car does when it happens etc.?
Regards
Dan

does it die at stops or when driving?
