So yesterday after a long time cruising on highway, enjoying evo I went back to the city, everything was great until I stalled at the light, I was lucky it was 1:30am no cars around, I couldn't get the car to start, I can hear the pump, and nothing more, after couple tries I opened the hood to check out if something is happening there, touched some wires near ignition (HKS dual) tried to start nothing happened, waited for another 3-5min and gave it another try and it worked, turned it off and gave it another try it worked again, so I'm driving back home a long drive ~30min, and I stall again (stupid Triple clutch) this time same crap but took longer to start again. What can it be???

Sounds kinda like what happened to me the other day. I did a quick run from 1st-3rd and I heard a loud bang then I looked at the dash and the car shut off and all the lights were on. I sat there in the middle of the road when the car wouldn't start again. The only thing I could think of was omg, I blew it up. Oh well let's just throw a stroked 2.65L and gt30r in. So I called Andy and he came to see what was wrong and I looked at the fender lining and it was cracked. I pulled it back and the intercooler pipe was hanging, god what a relief. lol Maybe one of your intercooler pipes is hanging or loose. It doesn't really hurt to check.

^ I bet it made a load pop when it came off. I've had that happen to me a couple of times.....you can usually start the car but it idles like crap and wants to stall

Oh crap, yeah I heard a pop too before this and never stalled after that before the light, it sounded like it came from the exhaust, but my car started after a lil brake, it might be a relay, drove it today too, but around the block and place near I live, floored it couple times 1st-4th, stopped tried to start, started great, then I repeated the whole thing again and everything seemed normal. anyway I'll get it fixed because its something u don't want to mess with, imagine if this happens in the middle of intersection

(((((( I'm running 2.3stroker+sc61 almost a GT35, abit cheaper and laggier, what number are you pushing subwrxkid?

A common problem with Hondas (especially in the summer) is the main relay going bad, just throwing it out there.
