died while driving

Friday I was driving my 2004 Civic EX and it just randomly died like it ran out of gas and will not restart. It cranks, but will not turn over and the gas pedal is non-responsive. i Have read on the forums it could be a ignition switch, or main relay issue. A buddy of mine is a honda tech and he thinks that it is fuel related. The timing belt, water pump and head gasket were changed 2 weeks ago by my buddy and the car had been running real smooth.

Thanks in advance.

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Re: died while driving

Figure out what is not right: fuel spark or compression.
Double check timing belt and cam timing since someone was just in there?
