Default My civic turns off on me? Help!!!

I own a 2000 Civic Si
Couple of months ago My Si was stallin on me when coming to a stop, red light or down shifting to 2nd gear when you were going to park and idel would go down and car will turn OFF. Sometimes I wouldnt even know when my car had turned OFF. Even if car is turned on to warm it up before driving it would also turned off.
***Dealer fix it and problem was ignitor inside distrubator was losse and Air throttle nedded and adjustment***
6 months later is doing it again and back at the honda dealer and can't find the problem this time because what they fixed last time evrything it's the same way they left things..I don't know what's wrong with it????
