i have a 93 honda accord.... I bought it about 2 weeks ago. the guy i bought it from said that about once every other month while driving it, it would just shut down. he said that if you let it sit for about 30 minutes it will start back up. yesterday while driving the car shut down. the motor just stops or something,,, i waited 30 mins, it started but then i only got about 3 miles and it happened again only now it won't start back up. it will turn over but just doesn't fire. someone said it could be the fuel filter, but the guy i bought it from said that he thought it was the ignition module. what are yours thoughts???

if the car kind of seemed like it stalled, then it could be the alternator. and alternators are NOT costly enough that it would be more than the car is worth. that person did not know what they were talking about.

You have a number of good suggestions here. If you are getting spark then it could be the timing belt which should be replaced every 90,000 miles or 7 years whichever comes first. Usually this results in bent valves and an expensive repair but not always. Even so a new timing belt with labor can cost anywhere from $300 to $700 depending on who does it. If you are not getting spark it may be the igniter in the distributor. This is a common problem in that year and model. I had that problem with my '93 Accord coming home at 1 AM one night. A new ignitor or a used distributor will likely cost about $100.

If it was the fuel filter then it wouldn't just die it would probably sputter and choke - it sounds like a module . The best way is to take it to the dealer he has codes for all that and will know whats wrong - its a bit pricey but knowing whats happening is worth it

Ignition module - pretty common on Honda's during that time. You may want to check to see if there is a recall on yours that was not performed. You might get it for free!

It sounds to me like it's the alternator... that's what takes over running your car after the battery starts it up. Very expensive to fix.. probably more than the car is worth.

You must have needed a car pretty bad to buy one that shuts down every other month.....
