Why did my car stall while driving and wont start now?

It sounds like the alternator may not be charging correctly on your 1996 Honda Civic. Proper diagnoses would be necessary to confirm this. Simply replacing the alternator may not correct your problem.

My integra 94 ls also had that type of problem but im not 100% it was exactly the same, my car shut off while I was driving because the module in the distributor was burnt. it wouldnt start like you said for about 20-30 minutes. id have someone check everything with your distributor, gl

sounds to me that your alternator is shot or you have a short in your wiring system sorry for my splelling

its not your alternator. because your car can run off the battery for about 90 minutes without any accessories on. so i'm going to say your ignition coil or your ignition module its a common problem with the hondas and acuras. so dont worry about your alternator because thats not it get your ignition module tested and your ignition coil.

wow think maybe you should trouble shhoot check to make sure fuel pressure is rightt there is a place for that ! next make sure you got fire there is a throttle pos system dwell meter will give you accurate reading ! if its not tstarting dought the radeiater is the proble but you said it had died and would not staty running so the ist typical for a bad bat ..... or alternater sounds like alot of work but do what you can to alimenate the small shit like fuel firring and bat terminals will caouse the same prob1!!!! new steerio could couse bad connct good luck !!! hopfuly not timming ?????

I drove a 1996 Honda civic in the winter and it did the exact same thing... there is a wiring harness underneath the car that can be knocked out of place on that particular model which will cut power to certain components allowing it to turn over but not start!

CHEACK YOUR ALTERNATOR MY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM

OH MAN,,,, I had this...let me guess that you have NEVER replaced the timing belt!?! Happened to me when I was in the process of moving,, car will turn and turn but not start,,, the way a mechanic showed me how he knew it was the timing belt was easy,,, If you have someone crank the engine--have oil cap off and look for any movement inside--no movement--timing belt. If you cant see that way,,you may be able to see with a flashlight and a sparkplug off,,good luck
