Hi,

Have you checked that there is enough gasoline in the tank? Did you notice a low fuel warning light before the car sputtered and turned off? Does it try to start? What happens when you try to start it?

Your problem will be in the ignition or fuel system. The first step should be to hook it up to an OBDII scan tool and check for codes because there are many, many possible causes. This would help isolate failed electrical components such as crankshaft position sensor or knock sensor issues.

Barring that, if the codes are non-specific (you'll get codes for ignition issues and knock problems whenever you have a stutter, but historic codes would indicate a failing component) the first thing I'd look at for a Honda is the distributor cap/rotor, plugs, and wires.
