99 Vtec 4 cyl. engine stops while driving.
Seems to happen once a week. Driving along and then nothing. engine stops and no lights to tell me the engine has stoped it just completely dies. All dash lights are out but the key is in the run position. Upon trying to start the engine it fires like it is starting but stalls right away. I try it this way 10 or so times and then it remains running and I am off for another week. It gives me no indication on when it is going to stop for a rest, runs fine rest of the time. I have tried wiggling the key and thumping the steering column by the ignition but I can not cause it to happen. Oh ya, it's an Accord.

UPDATE on 99 Accord
Called the local Dealer no recall on my Accord but they were happy to order a new switch for me. $ 104 ,, That is the price here in Canada. Once I had my new switch I installed it. The black case holding the switch in place was broke. So this is not the first time the switch was replaced on my Accord. I can see there is one bolt hidden under the steering column and it is easier to break the case and avoid trying to get it out. Anyway my Accord is working good now.
