I have a 97 acura RL that will be running fine and just cut off. It has done it twice now. Once running 45 and coasted to a stop and would not start but would crank. A few minutes later started up. Ran great for a week. Happened again yesterday where it was moving through a parking lot and jut quit but started back up. Dealer says no codes showed up on computer. Can you help

Thanks

When problem occurs, note if the dash indicators are showing. If not, the ignition switch is bad.

If dash indicators are showing, check for sparks and fuel pressure. If fuel pressure is not present, it could be a failing fuel pump or PGM-FI main relay.
