Hi there I have a 1994 honda civic ex. Milage is 120,000 on the engine and 47,000 on the body. The engine is a b181 engine with a manual transmission. THe car starts fine but when I am driving without warning the car just shuts off and the engine light comes on. There are no noises (when this happenes) and it doesnt happen at any certain types of speeds. Distance and speed dont seem to matter when this happenes. It has already happened a couple of times. Then I will let the car sit for a little while (10 minutes maybe), then the car starts right up again without any problems. Any ideas please let me know. I dont want to get stuck again! Thanks again!

Yep, what happens on this car is the ignition distributor goes out when it gets warm, here is how to change it out so you can get a rebuilt unit on Amazon or the parts store. Check out the images (below). Please let us know what happens.
