Stopped at a light and my engine died??
Well for one, im definately going to take it to the dealership tomorrow.
Well, i was at a stop light for no more than 1 min, when the lgiht turned green i pushed the gas and the car just died. i tried restarting and it wouldnt restart. My third attempt to restart the car was successful though. I had the VDC off and was in manumatic mode. I have experienced 2 or 4 other occassions where when starting my car in the morning, my engine would very sluggishly start out like it was struggling and then cranks up strong. Any clues as to what the problem might be??? Man my coupe is giving me a head ache. Im having so many problems with this damn car, but nonetheless i love it. Why cant it just love me back!?

Damn dude... I hate to hear that. I never have had a single problem with mine. Did you ever get around to modding the intake? Occasionally if your connections aren't tight or if your MAF sensor is loose it can cause you to stall out.

it is your ignition system malfunction.. i had that same problem on my Prelude and it died at the traffic too.

Omar.....theres a problem with the crank position sensor....
it may not be what's causing your car problems....but it sure seems to fit the description.....
I think there is a TSB on it....I had a recall on my 02 I35 for the same problem....car will not start or stops suddenly....
