90 honda accord wont start

My friend was driving his 90 honda accord when the car shut off and died for no apparent reason. now the car wont start at all. when the key is in the ignition even on the on position the lights do not come on or anything. and the key wont turn to even try to crank the engine. the hazard lights even went off for awhile and the fuse box under the steering wheel was making a weird nose but then it started working again. i tried to manually start it by touching the battery to the starter and the engine would try to crank but wouldnt turn over.

the battery is new and the fuses were working. i think its a wiring problem but i cant figure it out. any ideas?

I will be driving down the road and the check engine light comes on and the engine stops running i let it sit for 10-15 minutes and it starts again

What model and year honda do you have? If it's an accord, 90-93, take a look at your distributor by checking for spark, when the engine dies. If no spark, it's usually a bad distributor on those year accords.

98 accord dies while driving for no apparent reason

It could be a number of things. These include: faulty coil wire, bad alternator, bad torque converter, bad computer, the ignition relay is giving out, a dirty and stuck idle control valve. It should be one of these problems. How to tell which one it is is to follow a systematic approach and test each indiviaul item/circuit.

91 Accord Car will initially start then when driving it will die sometimes starts right away sometimes 10 or 20 minutes later but has gotten more frequent about dying and taking longer to start

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.
