I have a '92 civic, and for a while it just wouldn't start in the mornings, and my dash board went out completely after a couple of weeks of flickering. I changed the battery, and everything was fine after that. It wasn't v. expensive either, so maybe try that before you try something more costly. I would definately suggest taking it to a mechanic, as well.

Check the battery

My best educated guess would be the alternator. I think Auto Zone will check it for FREE. You don't have to buy one from them to get them to check it. Good Luck

HONDA HAS A TWO PART IGNITION SWITCH.THE CYLINDER PART AND THE ELECTICAL PART ON THE BACK OF THE LOCK CYLINDER.IT MAY BE THE ELECRICAL PART SHORTING OUT......ALSO CHECK YOUR BATTERY CABLES AND CHARGING SYSTEM....GOOD LUCK
