I have a 1984 Honda CRX. I was driving down the road, and without any warning, or noise, the vehicle just shut off. It will turn over, but will not start. Any advice/ guidance is greatly appreciated.

It could be that your vehicle is engaging the "safe mode" upon restarting. Auto Zone and Advance Auto will perform a complimentary diagnostic check which will most likely identify the issue. The trouble codes are stored and may be retrieved even when your car is running okay.
My 85 did the same thing many years ago, ity was a vacuum box on the left side of the motor-I think- check out one of the honda forums...that's where I found it when I had my problems.
sounds like a fuel filter problem, when the engine shuts down,the blockage settles, then when driving, the fuel pump draws the blockage back.......check fuel filters
I had a Mazda 626 with a similar problem, the car seemed to 'shut down' with no warning, even at highway speeds, as if I just turned the ignition key to 'Off'; After trying to fix it unsuccessfully by replacing several electrical parts, the problem was found to be a defective ignition switch, it was replaced and the problem went away.
Try jacking your vehicle up and turning the tires. listen for any odd noise like a grinding sound, wheels hubs have been known to make a grinding noise when they go bad.
Have you checked the wheel bearings for play or roughness? If they're OK i'd suggest gearbox differential bearings. If they're that bad you'll find metal filings or swarf in the gearbox oil. Most *** cars have a magnetic oil drain plug.
