have you called your local honda dealership and asked them to look up your vin number for any unresolved recalls? such as the ignition switch recall ...

Damn, my car did that too while driving sometimes.. Then turn back on after like 10 15 seconds like nothing happened. During the issue, the speedo/rpm needles all drop to 0, but engine remains on.. very strange.

when it won't start you say the starter works?

Get a spark tester and carry it with you, when it doesn't start see if you have spark. At least then you can rule ignition and CPS sensors out and know for sure it's fuel related.

The heavy key chain made the inside of my whole ignition switch/tumbler/whatever wear out and I was making a bad connection with my immobilizer and off she goes!
