1998 Honda Accord LX, 61000 miles, 2.3L 4 cyl.
The car will completely die while driving, to include loss of tach, speedometer, fuel, and temp gauges. It will restart, sometimes right away, sometimes after a few minutes. From other posts I've read, you've recommended changing the distributor, as this is the Accord's "Achilles Heel." If this is a problem with Honda distributors, should I buy a replacement distributor from the dealership, or would it be better to go with an aftermarket place such as Autozone?

I believe you have the same problem as I had with my 1999 Honda Accord LX. The dealer just replaced the ignition switch which was under a recall. You may call them and ask. Once the switch was replaced, my problem has gone away...
