While im driving or at a complete stop sometimes my car will shut off and start back up on its own and sometimes I could be listening to the radio and all of a sudden everything will shut off and I try to turn the ignition on but nothing turns on until like two minutes later and it resets everything. SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME OUT!

Hi there this sound like a thermal circuit breaker tripping out, when they over heat they cut power like a blown fuse, but when they cool down they re set, I will have to check the wiring schematic to see if there is one fitted to the system.

Hi there,

I have been advised that Honda don't use this type of thermal circuit breaker, and that the ignition switch is more than likely your problem.
