2000 Honda civic mileage: 85,000. This morning as I went to work my car just died at the stop sign. The car was warm, I had just gotten off the highway. About two blocks later it died. It would crank but not start. Strong cranking. The car was tuned up recently. I do all the work myself. After looking for loose wire etc, got back in car and it started then stalled, then cranked several times. It started and got me to work about two blocks later. Then at lunch, it started several times then did not any more. I had the ICM changed eight months ago with almost the same symptom. Probably is the ICM but I do not know how to test this. A mechanic repaired it last time and it cost 300.00, too much for a simple fix. Can you tell me how to trouble shoot the ignition control module (ICM)?

Two things to check when your car is stalled, you can test the ignition control module by checking for spark at the spark plugs. If no spark, there is an excellent chance that the control module has failed. If you have spark, you may want to check the fuel pump, which may be the culprit.
