I own a 1999 Acura TL with 127k miles. It has been running good up until the last couple of months. For some unknown reason, I can be driving for about 1/2 hr to 1hr and the engine just stops running. There is no warning or warning light when it happens. When I try to start the engine, it cranks but won't turn over. After a about a minute or 2, the engine starts fine. This has happened on several occasions. I did take it to a local Columbus Acura dealer a couple of weeks ago , and just my luck when the mechanic drove it, nothing happened. They did replace the fuel pump relay, thinking it is a fuel problem. The stopping problem, does not occur as often, but it still occurs. This car has had the, 90k, 105K and 120K maintenance done at the dealer. All maintenance is current and up to date. The ignition switch recall was addressed at my 105k maintenance. I'm at a loss to figure out why this happens.
Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions ? Thanks

 

Try taking all keys off the key ring other than the key for the car and see if that makes a difference.

 

Do what Kris recommended. If that doesn't work, might be a loose connection where the ignition switch connects back by the fuse box or maybe the theft deterrant system is going bad.

 

I just had my 99 3.2 serviced under warranty for the switch to be replaced. Same thing happened to me driving at 75-80 mph all of a sudden the car cuts off, and i called Acura, and that's when I found out there was a recall!

 

Last Monday , I was driving from Columbus to Cincinnati on I-71(about 110 miles distance) and my 99 Acura TL stopped twice. As I stated before, after it stops for about a minute or 2 it starts up. I will driving with just key in the ignition to see if that makes a difference.
