When Hondas from the 90's do that the problem is usually a bad ignition
switch.

I tried that no fix, I will sometime not start when its cold and other
times stop when you have driven ove r200 mile with no problem, it also
during that time, clock will not work and radio will not work.

Try disconnecting, cleaning terminals and then re-connecting your
battery cables. Perhaps enough corrosion got on the terminals to make
the connection flaky . . . .and the cable may have been loose, too. Make
sure the connection is real tight, too.

I'll second that recommendation.  I had a similar problem with a car, long
ago.  Random dying in traffic, then usually would restart and run fine.
Turned out to be a loose/corroded battery connection.
