AboutGary J. Meyer II Expertise The types of questions I can answer would be related to Honda automobile diagnosis and repair procedures. I can't diagnose every car via email because some tests just require a good old fashion road test.
Experience I am a Honda automobile technician with twenty years of new car dealership experience. My first few years as a Honda tech date back to when Honda cars were still offered in carburated models. In the last few years, I've been exposed to the integration of hybrid powered cars, the Natural Gas powered GX Civic, and electronic features ranging from voice activated GPS navigation to power sliding doors. I have been certified as an ASE Master Technician and passed the L1 Advanced Engine Performance test in 2000. I opened my own independent import repair shop specializing in but not limited to Honda automobiles in 2008. Operating my own shop has re-energized my enthusiasm for automobiles.

Question 91 Honda Accord Lx 5 Speed will intermittently not start, will turn over, just not catch. Let it sit for a day, starts on first try. Speedometer drops to 0 while driving, cruise no longer works. Fuel pump OK, Fuel filter OK, Any Ideas?
Answer Two things that are the most common on your car are the PGM-FI main relay and the electrical portion of the ignition switch. The fact that the car stalls while it's driving would lead me to believe you have an ignition switch failure. Are you positive the car is getting fuel during the no start condition? Have you had a fuel pressure gauge on the car during the no start condition? If the PGM-FI main relay is failing the check engine light will tend to be erratic. Listen closely when the key is rotated. As the check engine light comes on , you should hear a "click", then two seconds later another "click" as the check engine light goes off. If the second "click" is not present, you are not getting fuel pressure and you need a new PGM-FI main relay.
