The back tire locked up in a curve and caused a head on collision. I feel this problem came from a clutch failure. What further supports my theory is the fact that the clutch assembly fell apart and the timing chain was broken. The back tire had temporarily halted as I made it through the clutches on 2 occasions prior to my crash.
My problem is that when you prepare to come to a stop, press the clutch and brake, the car will die. No warning at all. The rpm's will just dive to 0 and it dies. When it first began, I kept a detail log of weather, length of trip, everything I could think of and each time it died, it blew another idea out of the water. Nothing seemed to coordinate from time to time. I have had it in about 4 times total into two different Honda dealers and niether of them have been able to duplicate the stall. Therefore, they can't find nor fix the problem.
