Son's honda civic dies when driving, and won't start.

What is your question?

My son was driving his car on the city street yesterday and the car just died. He was able to push it to a side street but it wouldn't start up. Had it towed to a garage and the technician was able to start it up 3 times. His car died before in the same manner and the auto tech replaced the rotor and it seemed to work only to start having problems a week later.
