1999 Honda Civic Dies while driving

i have a 1999 honda civic ex which has 165,000 miles.  Within the last few months the car will shutoff while driving.  i have no power steering, nothing.  i have to pull the car to side of the road and put the car in nuetral to start.  Sometimes it will start right away and other times it will take about 5 to 10 turns of the ignition.  I brought it to the mechanic and he replaced the battery and battery end and the coalate temp sensor. work fine for a few days and then the same thing happened

I have the same problem, I have changed the ignition coil, main relay,fuel filter, plugs, wires, dist cap and roter and the fun still persists.  The car will start then will shut off after running a whyle and will not start. Im thinking fuel pump now
