Default engine dies going down the road???

I have a 1990 crx completely stock with just 110,000 miles, while going down the road it dies for just a second like you turn the key off then right back on, any ideas would be helpfull.

when you say its like the key way turned off do you lose your guages, lights raidio, ect. ect. if so in my experiance it would more often be ither the ignition switch or some thing in one of the many ground wires

CHECK YOUR GROUNDS, IT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING IS NOT MAKING CONTACT WHILE ITS RUNNING.
