1998 Honda Accord 4 cylinder - Electrical? CAR DIES.

I would start with fuel filter.

My 1998 did that too, and the culprit was the Main Relay under the dashboard, that controls electricity from the ignition to the computer and other parts. This part will start failing usually in hot weather, or high humidity, until it fails completely. Other reason could be that the idle speed sensor is not controlling rpm´s as it should, and when you let off the gas, the engine dies.
The radio and the blower of the A/C continue to work because the ignition is still in the ON position. Only way to recognize that the engine has died when rolling along, is with the KEY icon on the dashboard, the tachometer going to zero rpms, and evidently the lack of power when you press it. It is disconcerting because the brakes continue to work for a few pumps, and everything else seems to be normal, except for the minor detail that the engine has died.

that would depend. if its the main relay, it would drive normally, but then if you park and turn your car off. when you go to start it again immediately after, it wont. but if it cools a couple of minutes, it will. can you give a little bit more detail on what exactly does it do? like turn over, doesn't turn over? starts and dies? would like to help. goodluck

Try disconnecting the battery and cleaning the terminals/connections,then reconnect the battery and see if the problem persists.

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,

may be the idle speed control valve, but first check all the vacuum lines

sounds like you need a new fuel pump.

Sounds like your timing belt is one tooth off on the cam, this I have seen before especially if it is a twin overhead cam. One tooth off will make it idle really low when stopping at the light especially if the engine is warm.

disconnect the metering and see if it makes any differance if not its not the meter
