Accords of this age were subject to a recall for faulty ignition switches causing cutting out .Has yours been done?hth

Honda UK keep a warranty record of any of these recalls done. Any Honda car dealer can check for you as long as you give them your reg number or VIN. We've got one in today with a cutting out problem. Needs a switch but fuel pump has had it too. That's got 132k miles as well!

Just had an ignition switch go on my Shuttle. Start the car then with the engine running wiggle the key in the switch - if it cuts out then that's it. Took the old switch apart to see if I could repair it, but no. Honda couldn't supply a new one £60 - 2-6 week wait. Ended up getting a secondhand one for £25. A lot of the breakers wanted £50-60 for it which I thought was outrageous. It's quite easy to fit, you don't need to dismantle the barrel or the cowling, just put your head in the footwell and unscrew the two screws at the back and pull it out and then pull out the connector from the fusebox.

Yes, quite easy to diagnose. Have it done sooner than later though, because it rapidly gets worse. Any independant could do this job. You will probably be luckier than me on the parts availability because it's a more common vehicle (the Shuttle and Accord switches are slightly different). Honda wanted around £125 to do it. Good luck
