2 Car Stall problem

Failure Date: 05/15/2013

My car engine some times used to suddenly shut off and stop abruptly, while slowing or braking. At times, it will start right away after cranking the ignition switch, but, some times, required several tries. Abrupt stopping caused extremely dangerous situation, as the drivers behind had to make very hard stops and narrowly missed hitting rear end of my Honda. Since the problem was occurring intermittently, it was very difficult to diagnose and took almost one year. First my mechanic thought it was caused by defective idling speed control relay, then due to bad ignition related relay, which was replaced, but the fault persisted and stalling became more frequent. Actually, the defect was due to worn or defective ignition switch, which use to shut the engine off while slowing or braking. After replacing the ignition switch approximately one year ago, car has never stalled.
