1991 Accord keeps dying less than 10 minute of driving

check the alternator, battery terminals good luck

distributor module.... any recent tune-ups? e.g= cap,rotor,wires,plugs? parts are reasonably priced and labor should be around 1 hour... start there...

Check your Sparkplug Wires Make Sure There on the Right Ones...OK..

These cars had two very common problems. #1 The pgmfi (main) relay has solder joints that go bad, I would repair or replace this first as they are not very expensive. It is likely your problem, if not, it will be one day so do it for maintenance if nothing else. # 2 is distributors. There are several components inside the distributor that can go bad, the easiest and cheapest solution in the long run is to just replace the whole thing with a new one (not rebuilt). Most aftermarket parts stores sell these fairly reasonably now.

Replace the relay. If that does not help, do the distributor. The ignition switches had problems as well, but they usually prevents starting...be ready for that one day as well.

If you have never changed that distributor on your 1990 Accord, I would suspect it. Check for spark while cranking. The sensors inside the distributor would usually heat up, after 15-20 minutes of running, and would then die out, until the car is cooled off for a while. Look into that distributor.

This is likely due to a faulty ignition module or cam sensor located in the distributor itself. Replace the distributor as a unit to get the most bang for your buck. Exteremly easy to replace and runs about $185 from autozone.

replace the distributor, this is a very common problem, next time it dies check it for spark, if theres no spark at the time of the no start then replace the distributor,

normally replace the distributor will fix the problem

Could be a problem with the ignitor inside the distributor. common problem. beware of aftermarket distributors, like from AZ they are JUNK

I have a 1991 honda accord dx that had the same problem. while driving it would just completely shut down. after about 5 minutes it start and run for a while then shut down again getting more frequently. There was a recall on the ignition control module (ignitor) which is in the distributor. call your local honda dealer with your vin # and will tell you if yours was replaced. If not I bought one from parts store for $60 or you could take a chance and buy one from a junk yard. I bought the whole distributor for $20 as a back up.
