My 99 Honda Civic just dies while driving it. I can be driving for like 2 minutes and it completely dies, electrical and everything. There is not even a slight signal it's about to happen. I have read a lot of people with the same problem and it seems to be the ignition switch. But it doesn't seem like that could be the problem. The car can turn right back on after it dies or take a couple cranks to get going. The electrical just pops back on after it dies also.

Sounds like you have a loose connection somewhere. Check your power and ground cables. Also check the battery terminals. If everything is fine, it's the ignition switch
