I have a 1990 civic that I have for my kids to drive back and forth to school. About 10 days ago the ignition started shutting off while driving. If you shut off the ignition it will generally start right back up. Once it starts acting up it usually does it again after a quarter mile to a mile. It only does it after you have driven say 5 miles or so, and it is more likely to do it when the weather is warm. I went through the distributer and checked all of the connections, and then I took the ignition control module out and took it to Auto Zone and they tested it. They ran the test 20 times, and it passed every time. Anyone out there have any suggestions on where I should go from here.

 

When it stalls, before you try to restart check if the oil and battery lights on the dash have come on. They should be on any time the key is on but the engine is not turning. If they don't come on until you turn the key again, it is probably the ignition switch.

 

The Oil and batter lights come on as soon as you push the clutch in, and allow the engine to stop turning. So that doesn't fit the symptoms. Thanks for the suggestion.
