1998 Honda accord ex sedan, engine shuts down at random times while driving

Asked by not_a_name Aug 05, 2017 at 07:07 PM about the 1998 Honda Accord EX

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So ever since march of 2017 I've been driving my grandpas Honda accord
which he gave me. before 2017 it was sitting in my grandpas garage
untouched for 3 years but about a week after i started driving it, the engine
shut off while i was driving the car to work. And ever since I got the car in
march up until now, it has shut off 4 times while driving. I don't know what the
issue is and i brought it into a mechanic to get them to fix it but they could
not find the problem and at this point i have no confidence when driving the
car because I am afraid it will shut off at any time so does anyone have an
idea of what it could be?
