    I was moving from FL to WA and around Flagstaff, AZ my car stalled out
    while doing about 80mph. When i tried to start it again it would start up
    but be running at 500rpm nearly stalling out. While in neutral I would
    step on the gas and it wouldn't rev passed 3500 rpm. After letting it sit
    for 20 minutes it started up normally and I was able to drive it into
    flagstaff.

    I had a relative in the state so I tried to make it to their place, the
    car drove for another hour then quit out while going up a hill. I let it
    sit for another 30 minutes and it started up normally. It did this one
    more time before i made it to my relatives. My brother thought it was just
    bad gas, others were thinking a fuel pump or filter. I had taken it to
    Honda and they started off saying it was a cam shaft problem, which isn't
    possible. Then they replaced Cat, and a computer component through
    warrenty. The problem didn't go away. They then said they couldn't figure
    out what was wrong with it.

    Is it the fuel system or is it electrical?

    I would change the fuel filter and buy better gas.

    You buy gas from a brothel? No wonder!
