    Hi i have a 1998 Civic Cx Automatic with 160k miles on it
    The car has a hard time starting in hot weather sometimes and also
    sometimes stalls when driving. When i stall the electric doesn't go off so
    my radio is still on and everything but i have to go park and restart the
    car afterward. There are no odb codes going off on the car and it's
    recently had timing belts and fuel filter changed. I'm thinking it has
    something to do with the fuel pumpish or something but i dunno. Any help
    would be great. THX

    SEARCH for honda main relay. It probably needs to be resoldered
    (anyway). Don't unbolt it, just slip the guts out of the shell. Other
    posts will tell you how to restart without waiting for it to cool down.
    Didn't your car qualify for the ignition switch recall? Usually main
    relay only affects restarting, it doesn't cause stalling in traffic.

    Look at posts about igniter too.

    dead igniter rarely allows re-starts. once it's gone, it's gone.

    i'd go for ignition switch recall, then look at tired ignition
    componentry. old plugs and leads hate getting too hot.

    When my igniter went bad, it would cause a feeling like spark plug
    wires shorting out. Then after a while, the engine would quit. Only
    after it cooled down, could I start the engine again. The problem
    seemed to go away then after the engine got hot again, the sequence
    reappeared. - Bob
