| The vehicle stalls suddenly for no apparent reason. sometimes when i first start the engine and in idle, the car will suddenly shut off by itself. other times i will be driving on the street and the engine will suddenly stop. sometimes there is an indication that it will stall because moments before it does the rpm guage will drop to zero and go back to where it was before but then the car will stall. other times the engine will just shut off in the middle of the road. we have taken the car to have a diganostic done at the honda dealer and they said there is nothing wrong with it. we have also replaced the computer module and the coils from a private auto mechanic. the car restarts after stalling but it takes up to 5 trys to restart the engine. this is very dangerous because it has stalled on the freeway and in traffic. *ak | |||
