hm, that link that fglaustin posted also leads to a page about the ignition causing what the authors claim are pretty close symptoms:

that's from their home page. here's the page about the switch:

OK, my car is fine now, I still have no idea why but this is the list of things I did.

Changed distributor, distributor cap, wires, sparkplugs, gas filter and air filter. It has been good for 7 days without a problem. I hope this helps.

 

I had the same symptoms you just mentioned. The car cutting off and the check engine light kept coming on. It turns out that the O2 sensor (before catalyic converter) was bad. I changed it and had no more problems.

Hit the wrong button. Response supposed to be towards 98EX

 

ABSOLUTELY FALSE.......
a bad motor mount has nothing to do with the timing belt ......

and guys a word of advice......start DIAGNOSING before you start replacing parts and playing the guessing game ... you could save you A LOT OF MONEY

 

PROPS TO MIKAH!! I've been away for a few weeks but I've read up all the replys. That link had all my symptoms summed up perfectly and I find out it could be covered under a recall!! I feel so stupid because when I originally replaced the ignition I only replaced the lock mechanism not the electrical contacts. Also All the parts I replaced (motor mount {was broke}, timing belt tune up stuff) were maintenance items anyway so I did do some diagnosing before repair (Deserthonda).

 

im sorry to say that it your ignition switch. its the white switch behind your ignition key. your car got stolen your ignition was played with. the samething happend to my civic. i also changed out everything you listed. itsprobably a good thing that you did, but the switch is the problem. the part is like 40.00 at napa auto parts. its also easy to change. good luck.

 

I just changed the oxygen sensor on my CIVIC and I can guarantee you a bad oxygen sensor does not make your car shut off. But you should change it if it is bad.
