I had the same problem w/ my 97 CL 3.0. I would be driving and it would just die. My power steering would also go out, but all the electronics would still work. Luckily I know people who can fix cars and he determined that it was a bad ignition switch. I had it replaced and it only cost me like $35 to buy....only because my friend got it at cost. I no longer have issues w/ my car dying so this may be your problem. Good luck!

it sounds like the ignition switch. sounds like the car thinks your turning the key off.

1998 ACURA CL Defect Summary:
