88 Accord DX Carb................Car starts fine and runs great for about 10 minutes. If you have the vehicle in gear and driving the car will completely shut off. Pull over to the side of the road and wait a minute or two and the car starts right up and you can drive again. Same thing happens again. After the second time the car stalls you can crank it up and not drive but leave the car in park and rev the engine to 3000 rpms and within a minute or so the car will start stalling and sometimes you can pump the gas and baby it back to life and sometimes not. The car has continously restarted within two minutes after each and every stall. I have replaced the fuel pump, rebuilt carb, new fuel filters, ECU *computer*, distributor (cap,plugs,wires,all of it), ignition control module, and coil. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as this problem has left about 5 mechanics scratching their heads.

Accord Carbs Tend To Do that. Check for blown fuses. some bullshit solenoid on the back of the carb needs power to it all the time in order for the car to run right.
