1998 acura integra ls. stock. new timing belt water pump and tensioner. new cap,rotor,igniter,plugs,wires,fuel filter. Runs great first thing in the morning. after gets to operating temp it dies. today it stayed running if i kept my foot on the gas. as soon as i let off it dies and wont start up again for like an hour or so. im not getting spark after it dies. not sure if im getting fuel or not. the pump is fine though i tested that. any ideas? help please.

did you mess with the timing? and when you did the cap and rotor did you hit the ignitor and loosen the terminals? start there. and could be the ignitor they die randomly. and for no reason at all....

i have the timing correct i double checked it. i tested the dizzy and igniter. i was told i should test the igniter switch? i was told it was most likly the main relay. what do you guys think?

is it losing spark or fuel? That would be the first place to start.

sounds like your switch gets hot and warps out then it'll start up when its closed cause the circut can complet when cold cause the warp goes away on your wiring in the switch.
