For about a year I will be driving down the road and the accord will just die. Sometimes the ABS light will come on right before it does. Lately its been getting worse and sometimes will take many tries before it will crank. It will crank but as soon as you try going it turns off. What could be some possible reason for this or is their any certain kind of test to run to get a better answer for this?

Hi ksigmon,

If you have difficulty cranking, then most probably it is the ignition switch. Did you hear any mild clicking noise just before the engine cuts off

Check and see if the dash lights are working while cranking and after releasing of the key. With engine running, check and see if the ignition seems abnormally warm, wire side.
