how many miles on the vehicle? what type of gas are you running? and have you checked the fuel filter? does this happen when the car is mostly warm and been running, or does it do this all the time?

has 178 on it stall on freeway while coming home so its warm stalled at work when been sitting . gas is unleaded most time from speedway . next step is to do pressure check on fuel filter hoping auto zone will lend me one . do you know what pressure should be or can i find it in the back of owners manual i am leaning toward the fuel filter ,

called a place who works on honda told him what was happening he said we out thinking its the ignition switch taking it in monday when i get off work cost me 175 hope this is the last for awhile . he told me even though recall was done they fix not replace so the signs he has seen tells me ignition switch is bad .

so hope this fixes problem spent 3200 on getting it fixed with rebuilt transmission tune-up now ignition switch . well atleast i know i have almost brand new car now.
thanks for the help

and just because the recall was done doesnt mean ignition switch cant be bad as in my case
